New team for aspiring racers

From FOGI Racing Development Team

FOGI Racing is a development motorcycle road racing team for riders 12-16 years old to compete in the USGPRU 2010 season.

The new team has been made possible by team manager and racer Angus Borland of RAT Racing, which has taken Canadian racer Adam Roberts to two (2008, 2009) USGPRU GP250 Championships and a Wild Card ride at the 2009 Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP. RAT Racing also took Scot/Canadian Ben Young to third place overall in the GP125 Eastern USGPRU Championships in the 2009 season.

The team has two GP125’s for the season. The first is a Honda Luyton Kit RS125 as ridden by Young in 2009. It has full aftermarket suspension, brakes, motor and fairing. This machine would suit a more experienced rider. The other is a Honda RS125 B. This machine has only few modifications and would suit a rider who is climbing the ladder to podium finishes.

FOGI Racing offers the full team experience. The team staff are ex-racers who can pass on their valuable experience of setup and riding techniques, making the rider a better racer through education, not just better machinery. The rider arrives at the track and rides, so they can focus on their development and not wrench turning. All machine setup, work and maintenance are performed by the team’s mechanics.

Young has joined the FOGI Racing Development Team by moving up a class to contend in the GP250’s in 2010 on the team's Yamaha TZ250. The experience of the GP250 will continue in good stead for moving onto 600cc machines for 2011 season and beyond.

FOGI Racing is in discussion with a team who competes in Spain to arrange a European ride exchange program. The objective is to invite a rider from overseas to race in the US with the team in exchange that one of its riders race in their championship. This will add to the experience of each rider and give them the insight in what racing is like away from their home country.

Racers who would like the opportunity to be part of FOGI for the 2010 season can contact Scott Young at 1-519-378-6567 or email scott-d-young@hotmail.com for further details, season costs and information.
