They will also be represented in the Superbike category by Tom Gomperts (Suzuki GSX R) and Giovanni Slagveer astride a similar machine.
The Porta Tree Timing System, which is equipped with specialized starting lights that allow quarter mile speeds to be recorded, will be used during the day’s races.
