Simpson and Karro sign up for Hawkstone
By Sean Lawless on 17th Dec 14
Reigning Maxxis champs Shaun Simpson and Matiss Karro will race the Hawkstone International on February 8.
"It's great to be riding the Hawkstone International again and kicking things off for my 2015 season in the UK,” says Shaun.
"It will be a valuable race and good track time under my belt before the first GP in Qatar only a couple of weeks later.
"I have always had a lot of fun racing at Hawkstone and after my win this season at the international I'll be looking to keep that top step for No.24 come February.”
Matiss will be joined by his Route77 Energy MVR-D Honda team-mates Josh Gilbert and Natalie Kane who'll be the event's first-ever female competitor.
"Hawkstone Park is a good meeting for me and a place that holds good memories,” says the Latvian.
"I am happy to start my new season with my new team at one of my most favourite tracks and hopefully there will be plenty of MK91 fans to cheer me on.”
The event will mark Josh's top-flight debut in MX2.
