Jentin Racing 2008 plans
News from Jentin Racing;
Jentin Racing are pleased to confirm they have retained the services of Simon Andrews for the forthcoming 2008 British Superbike season and, after teaming up with Lloyds British Testing Ltd midway through the 2007 season, are now to be known as Jentin Racing/Lloyds British.
The Gloucester based team are to run 23-year-old Simon Andrews on two 08 Jentin Yamaha R1s in the British Superbike championship and have high hopes for success this year.
Bernie Toleman, Jentin Racing/Lloyds British team manager:
We secured several top ten finishes in 2007 and with two new bikes currently being built
will be looking to further the teams success in the new 2008 season.
I am delighted that Simon has agreed to remain with the team for 2008 and I am looking forward to working with him once again. Ongoing team/rider continuity is even more important this year with the change of tyre manufacturer and also the changes to engine
specification. The team ran very successfully in 04 on Pirelli tyres and I have every confidence
we can adjust quickly to the new tyres and secure some top results.
Simon Andrews:
I am really pleased to be riding for Jentin Racing/Lloyds British again this year. The new tyre
rule will be good for the championship, as it will put teams on more of a level playing field.
Our new R1 looks fantastic and I can’t wait to get on board and put it through its paces.
Ian White, Managing Director Lloyds British Testing Ltd:
Lloyds British are delighted to be associated with Jentin Racing once again. We are looking
forward to the new season and anticipate that with the new bikes and the skills of rider Simon Andrews we have everything in place to become a major player in the 2008 British Superbike championship.
Along with several other British Superbike teams, Simon Andrews and Jentin Racing/Lloyds
British will take part in the Pirelli/BSB test at Guadix in early March prior to the Snetterton
test over Easter in preparation for the new season that kicks off at Brands Hatch on April 6.
