The ISILON MSS Discovery Kawasaki team and Michael Rutter will be at the legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed event this weekend with one of the team’s Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R machines. Michael is currently convalescing after it was discovered that he had broken his left scaphoid in his wrist. An MRI scan on Tuesday revealed that he’s also suffered a break to his hamate bone in his hand. It is hoped that he will return in time for the Oulton Park round next month.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed has been a major event in the motorsports calendar for more than a decade. It is a hill-climb event that marries the current Earl of March’s love of motorsports on two and four wheels with a passion for the history of racing cars and motorcycles. It’s all set in the glorious grounds of Goodwood, near Chichester in West Sussex.

“I know I’m not fit to race at Knockhill which is obviously very disappointing news, but I’m sure that being at the Goodwood Festival of Speed over the whole weekend should cheer me up! From Friday through to the Sunday I’ll be there and I’m looking forward to being part of this legendary event. It will be nice to watch the hill-climb event and let fans of two and four-wheeled motorsport get up close and personal to my 200bhp ISILON MSS Discovery Kawasaki. It should be a good weekend.”
Nick Morgan, Team Owner
“It’s a shame for Michael not to be able to race at Knockhill, but this is the right decision to make. At the moment we’re something like 99.9% sure that we will be giving Stuart another run-out on the big bike at his home circuit, as he impressed me all weekend at Mondello Park. As for this weekend, it’s wonderful to be a part of such an established event on the motorsports calendar. The Festival of Speed marries all that’s best in the World of two and four-wheeled motorsport and we’re proud to be a part of that this year.”
