Alongside this goal, Ben is also entered in the Lightweight race, competing on Rea Racing’s TZ 250B Yamaha.

Originally built in 1991, the 2013 Newcomers C Manx GP winner as in the Superbike class, is confident he has the tackle to take him to another notable result, around the Mountain Course.

Outside of the Classic TT, the Manx Grand Prix sees father Nige entered in the Super Twins race on Robbie Silvester’s VRS Racing ER6 Kawasaki, plus the blue riband Senior on GSX-R 600 Suzuki machinery.

Rea Racing’s latest Mountain Course quest, begins in just over five weeks time, as anticipation builds for the 2017 Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling.
