The Dutch based RAC Racing Team will compete in the 2013 IDM Superbike Championship with Australian Damian Cudlin and young Dutch talent, Kevin Valk.
Aboard RAC prepared BMW S1000RR‰Ûªs, the pair will be hunting for success in the IDM Superbike Championship as well as a number of races in the ONK Superbike Championship in 2013.
After Cudlin‰Ûªs stellar performance as a replacement rider at the last round of the IDM Championship at Hockenheim (where he secured pole position and won the event), the team is very pleased to have the experienced Australian join the team for the entire 2013 season.
‰ÛÏI'm really pleased to have secured a place in the RAC Racing Team." Cudlin stated. "After working together for the first time in Hockenheim, I realized that this was the team I wanted to ride for in 2013.
"They are a great team of people with a very competitive machine and they share the same approach to racing as I do; we both want to win! I'm also proud to be part of such a worthy foundation in RAC- Racing Against Cancer- who help kids and their families during such a rough time.
"Hopefully, I can also help to put a smile on their faces by winning more races together next season!" he concluded.
Cudlin will be joined at RAC Racing by Kevin Valk; the talented rider from Dronten who surprised many during his first season in the Dutch Superbike class. His strong performances there made him a serious contender for the Dutch title and now the 19 year old feels ready to step up to the IDM for the first time.
With the signings of Cudlin and Valk, the RAC Racing Team is convinced that they have a team that can fight for both the IDM Superbike and the Dutch Superbike Championships.
"Of course it's great that we can announce our team for next season at this early stage." Evert Slager, RAC Racing Team Manager stated. "With Damian and Kevin onboard, we have riders that can achieve great results in both the IDM Superbike and Dutch Superbike Championships.
"Damian has already shown that we will be a force to be reckoned with after his guest appearance at Hockenheim during the last race of this season. Kevin has also shown huge potential during his first year in the Dutch Superbike Championship, often able to get to the top.
"Of course the IDM Superbike Championship is a step up but we are convinced that with the guidance and support of Damian, Kevin can also do some beautiful things on the BMW S1000RR in Germany.‰Û
