Additionally targeting track time at Thundersport rounds, there’s no doubt that the Herbertson/Cowton Racing combination has the potential to prove equally mutually beneficial for each other in 2020.

“We are very happy to announce that Dominic Herbertson will be continuing his support and ride with us hopefully on the new Cowton Racing by CC Engineering Z650 in 2020. The Z650 is currently being built over this winter, keep an eye out for pictures and updates!
