Carr to race World Supersport
Shades of the ‘old' days – straight from local success to the international scene, with Mitchell Carr planning a WSS assault on his Triumph Daytona 675RAustralia’s reigning supersport champion Mitchell Carr has confirmed he’ll be competing in the 2013 Supersport World Championship on a Triumph Daytona 675R.
And it will be an all-Aussie collaboration, with Carr continuing his association with the Melbourne-based Aark Racing team which took him to national success in Australia. Aaak Racing is owned by Andy Offer.
“The team has prepared a great bike throughout the 2012 season, testing has been very positive and the bike is coming ahead in leaps and bounds,” said Carr.
“After winning the Australian Supersport Championship title this season, I am so grateful for Aark Racing to give me this great opportunity to contest the Supersport World Championship.”
Offer said: “As many of the Australian riders venturing overseas this year will be riding for European teams, our team is a bit unique in that we will be a fully owned and managed Australian team. I believe this will lift the profile of motorcycle racing in Australia.
“We proved we have a winning formula and are excited to test our skills at the world level. We expect that we will once again be able to represent our loyal sponsors with pride and anticipate a great year for our new sponsors and any potential sponsors coming on board.”
Carr will be joined in the 2013 World Supersport title by teenager Matt Davies, who will ride a PTR Honda. Davies raced in the European 600 Superstock title in 2012.
Finally, Sydney’s Mitch Pirotta will compete in the 2013 FIM 1000cc Superstock title on a Kawasaki ZX-10R. Pirotta was a World Supersport racer in 2011 before sitting out the 2012 season.
