GP250 British Revival

Re-establishing the British title tag to the GP250 class has dramatically boosted interest in the ailing two-strokes.

That’s something that many thought would never happen following the demise of the class at BSB level after the 2001 season – even though the class continues to play a key role as a supporting race and rider development class at MotoGP. 

MCN’s Bruce Dunn is also in the line-up on the 2006 TZ250 Yamaha he finished sixth on in his North West 200 debut last year, clocking over 160mph through the speed trap.

Other riders to watch include: Richard Grinling on a Honda, Andy Mechem from Guernsey, veteran Darrell Higgins from Melksham and youngster Benji Dawson.
