High expatiations for Nutec – RT Motorsports by SKM – Kawasaki and Carl Cox – RT Motorsports by SKM – Kawasaki in WorldSSP300
Team owners Frank Krekeler (SKM) and Rob Vennegoor (RT Motorsports) are very proud to present a brand new WorldSSP300 team, called Nutec – RT Motorsports by SKM – Kawasaki. Both team owners have a long history in racing over the last few decades. With the combination SKM and RT Motorsports the team can deliver an all-in-one concept. SKM based in Greven – Germany is an full service tuning centre with everything in-house, this gives the team an unique concept.
The goal for both Rob and Frank is as simple as it is difficult; they want to win the WorldSSP300 title with Nutec – RT Motorsports by SKM – Kawasaki.
To achieve this goal, they have chosen four young and very talented riders from across the globe.
Dorren Loureiro is 19 years old from South Africa, he ended fifth in last year Supersport 300 Championship on a Kawasaki Ninja 400. Dorren had some great races this year and is hungry to fight for the podium places..
Nick Kalinin, also 19 years old and from Ukraine, made an impressive start last year in WorldSSP300 but had a very nasty crash at Imola ruined his year. Once back at full fitness he will be a podium challenger as well.
Dino Iozzo, 17 years old and compatriot of Dorren, showed during a test that he has a lot of potential. He is eager to fight towards the front and move up in the rankings.
Nutec – RT Motorsports by SKM – Kawasaki will race the Kawasaki Ninja 400 and is one of the official Kawasaki Europe WorldSSP300 teams.
The fourth rider, 21 year old Tom Bramich from Australia, will also be a part of the team but he will race in the colours of Carl Cox – RT Motorsports by SKM – Kawasaki. This team will join all the strengths from Nutec – RT Motorsports by SKM – Kawasaki but will be supported by Carl Cox Motorsports.
For Rob Vennegoor this is a very special co-operation because he has had a long relationship with Australian riders. This project creates a lot of hype` “Down Under” that one of the biggest motorsport enthusiasts DJ Carl Cox is main sponsor for this project. With this partnership a longtime dream of Rob Vennegoor comes to reality – building an European platform for Australian youth riders. Tom Bramich is the first rider who enters this exciting project.
Team Manager Rob Vennegoor: “I’m so proud of this new project and with all strong
partners I’m sure 2019 will be a good year for us. Shortly we will start our intensive test program. I cannot thank all our partners enough to support us in this new project.
We have created a unique concept, build on many years experience and together with Frank I am satisfied and can’t wait for the 2019 season!”
