MSS Discovery Kawasaki Racing are starting their new-era with an updated website which can be found at mssdiscoveryracing.com. 2007 is the beginning of an important transition for the MSS Discovery Kawasaki team. Not only are they the UK’s only officially supported team of Kawasaki Motors UK, but they also enter into the hotly-contested Superbike class with proven race winner and title front-runner Michael Rutter.
Rutter, 33, from Kirkby Mallory has finished runner-up twice in the series, and knows he has a fight on his hands to get competitive as just after Christmas, the MSS Discovery team have been working around the clock to get his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ready for the first race. This leaves them a little behind their title rivals development-wise, but the team has put in a huge amount of effort to ensure they arrive at this weekend’s Brands Hatch round in the best shape possible.
In the British Supersport class the team has a proven track record and to match this promise this year they start the season with 2002 champion Stuart Easton. The 23-year-old Scot is hungry to take the title on the four-cylinder green-machine.
This new era and the new website coincides with the introduction of ISILON SYSTEMS as joint title sponsor in the team.
ISILON is a well-respected World-wide computer software company that provides digital storage solutions to large organisations across the globe. For years, the storage of large data files such as digital video, images and test data, has been problematic, but since ISILON’s invention of clustered storage along with its simple and unique ‘plug-and-play’ ability, the use and access of such files has become much simpler.
ISILON works with such clients as NASA, Kodak, Technicolor and Pratt and Whitney jet-engines and they love motorsport – backing an Indycar team in the USA. Now they’re extending this sponsorship to motorcycle racing and the UK.
Nick Morgan, Team Owner“The internet is an important tool for linking-up with motorcycle race fans and we’re confident that our fresh, updated website will be just the thing for getting the latest news and views from MSS Discovery Kawasaki to our fans across the globe. Over the course of the season we will see our website grow and grow to offer not just news, but features, competitions and information on our key sponsors and technical partners, without whom we wouldn’t be able to put on a show for the fans. With this in mind I’d like to warmly welcome ISILON to the MSS Discovery Kawasaki family. They’re a global company with a love of motorsport and this shows what a big draw the Bennetts British Superbike series is for sponsors. We will also be launching other communication initiatives throughout the season to ensure that we get the ISILON MSS Discovery Kawasaki message across to race fans across the UK and beyond.”
Stuart Simmonds, joint Team Owner“The internet is vital to getting the ISILON MSS Discovery Kawasaki message across, so it was important to get our new website up-and-running in time for the first Bennetts British Superbike round this weekend. This is the start of a new phase in our communications activities with race fans, the media and our sponsors like ISILON, whom I would like to welcome to the British Superbike paddock.”
