James Westmoreland secures Donington World Supersport Wildcard.

JW Racing is pleased to announce their rider James Westmoreland has been accepted by the FIM as a 'wildcard' entry at the British round of the World Supersport Championship at Donington Park on 26th/28th June.

 The team took the decision that, despite a very limited racing budget, it would be an ideal opportunity to showcase the whole team and attract further much needed sponsorship.  JW Racing have an outstanding package with the JT Performance Centre Triumph 675 and believe that they have the ability and equipment to be more than competitive at this level.

 "This is a massive opportunity for myself and the whole team to step up to the challenge of the world championship", said Westmoreland. "It is no secret this is where I would like to see my career heading so to race with the best riders in the world would be a awesome opportunity. I know we have a very good package to have a good weekend. As much as I am looking forward to riding at this level I am very aware of how hard it will be, and my focus is on round 5 this weekend at Snetterton, then look forward to Donington and the World round".
