JACKSON RACING LAUNCH ‘ROADS’ AND ENDURANCE CAMPAIGN WITH McGUINNESS, CUMMINS AND HONDA Leading road racing team Jackson Racing will be undertaking a Honda-supported campaign on both the International road races and World Endurance Championship in 2015, with Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness and Manxman Conor Cummins spearheading their attack on Honda CBR1000RR SP and Honda CBR600RR machinery. 21-times TT winner McGuinness joins the team for the first time and will be armed with a CBR600RR Honda for the Supersport races at the Isle of Man TT and North West 200 events where he’ll be joined by Cummins who had a strong debut campaign with the team in 2014. Cummins will also enjoy the backing of the Preston-based squad in the Superstock class for the first time where he’ll line up on the formidable CBR1000RR SP. The 28-year old will also contest the Supersport and Superstock races at the Ulster Grand Prix, the third of the ‘big three’ International road races. Run by brothers Alan jnr and Andy, the team will not be content with just success on the roads and will make their debut in the Endurance World Championship, where they’ll contest the Superstock class. Again using the Honda CBR1000RR SP, Honda-contracted riders McGuinness and Cummins will join forces once more and will be joined by third rider Dan Stewart, TT Privateer’s Champion of 2012. Both McGuinness and Cummins have prior experience in the EWC with 42-year old McGuinness having ridden for Honda TT Legends for the entire 2011-2013 Championships, scoring a best position of fourth overall, whilst 28-year old Cummins has previously competed in both the Le Mans and Bol d’Or 24 Hour races. Jackson Racing, meanwhile, have a wealth of experience within the motorcycling paddocks, dating back to the 1970s when Alan Jackson senior won three consecutive World Formula Two Championships between 1977-79, also taking three victories at the Isle of Man TT during that period. Sons Alan junior and Andy continued the dynasty, Alan setting the outright lap record at the Manx Grand Prix in 2005 with a speed of 122.208mph, a record that still stands today. The team is no stranger to success having contested World and British Championships whilst they have assisted the careers of many road racing stars including Ian Lougher, James Hillier, Steve Mercer and American Mark Miller. Jackson Racing are currently seeking new sponsors to come on board for their exciting 2015 venture and can be contacted on 07947 660928 or [email protected] to discuss opportunities.
