By Determined to achieve Mountain Course race success, Hawick’s Chris Cook 2026 Manx Grand Prix Supersport, Senior races package is locked in.
Andy Storey’s STS Racing team are building the Scotsman a 636 Kawasaki, with prime engine mounts supplied by MSS Performance.
2024, 2025 Senior race runner-up, just one target matters for Cook in his eleventh MGP tenure (sixteen race starts thus far – fifteen finishes – five top six finishes), victory in the blue-riband contest.
The only Scottish ‘Tommy Club’ member, he ended last year’s meeting quickest overall, lapping within lap two of the Senior race at 120.994 mph (18 minutes 42.605 seconds), propelling him ahead of former MGP winners Wayne Kirwan, James Neesom and Pierre Yves Bian in the all-time speediest Mountain Course competitors list.
Before travelling back to IOM shores, Cook’s main roads scene project revolves around the season’s opening ‘Major’ the Briggs Equipment Northwest 200.
A prospective NW200 newcomer, his first Triangle course racing assignment sees him as at the Manx, 636 Kawasaki powered.
Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough action is also muted in what STS Racing hope is Cook’s best real road racing season to date.
