Simpson excited for 'new challenge' with WH Racing

Manxman recently signed two-year deal with Newcastle-based team

Upcoming Manx road racer Marcus Simpson says he's looking forward to a new challenge going forward after signing with WH Racing.

This week it was announced the Douglas rider put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the Newcastle-based crew which is making its TT return this year having not been on the grid there last time out.

The previous calendar year saw Simpson make his debuts at the Isle of Man TT, North West 200 and Macau Grand Prix - among numerous other meetings - with mixed results.

He says despite a challenging 2024 he's relishing this new chapter and is feeling stronger and wiser heading into the new campaign:

On the Snaefell Mountain Course in 2025, it's been announced he'll campaign WH Racing's Honda Fireblade machinery in the Senior, Superbike and Superstock classes.

Separately, he's due to take part in the Supertwin category on board a John Cuff Electrical Kawasaki.

Along with the TT and North West 200, Simpson has confirmed he's planning to take on the Southern 100 Road Races on Island in July as well as the Armoy Road Races and Tandragee 100 in Northern Ireland in May and June respectively.

He and WH Racing are due to head to Spain in March for pre-season testing.
