"Revving Up the Thrills: BCperformance Charges into the Australian Supersport and Superbike Championships in 2024!
The BCperformance Racing Team gears up for an exhilarating 2024 season, introducing a fresh face and embracing new challenges as they proudly unveil the newly homologated Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R (636) in the competitive Australian Supersport Championship. Taking the reins of this powerful machine is the talented 16-year-old rider, Hayden Nelson.
Having showcased remarkable potential during his debut year in the Supersport, Hayden made headlines with an impressive pole position at Morgan Park in the 2023 season. Despite being his first year in the championship, Hayden secured an admirable 8th place overall. Now, with BCperformance making a bold return to the Supersport category after a hiatus since 2018, the anticipation for the upcoming season is palpable.
Hayden Nelson expresses equal enthusiasm for this new chapter, eagerly embracing the challenges that come with riding the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 636. The young rider is poised to make waves in the Australian Supersport Championship, and BCperformance Racing Team is confident that Hayden's skill and determination will contribute to a thrilling and successful season.
“I’m really excited to join BCperformance for 2024. Although the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 636 has not been raced in ASBK before. Its Australian debut at the Sydney Summer Night Series has shown it to be a competitive bike. I can’t wait to ride the bike and continue the development process with the team. I will be working hard to get up to speed with the bike and tyres as quickly as I can and pushing to be ready to achieve strong results from round 1.”
Using Kawasaki machinery for a 12th year, BCperformance will be throwing all their weight behind Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR mounted Paris Hardwick, who rejoins the team for a 2nd term after finishing his debut season as the Superbike Rookie of the Year and is also eager to get back to business…
“2024 will be my second year with BC Performance, I'm feeling really settled in the team and really appreciate Kelvin and the team helping me learn my way around the superbike. I'm looking forward to my second year in ASBK and really want to make the move up to be in the mix of the top ten.”
Team Manager Kelvin Reilly is looking forward to getting things underway…
“It's going to be a busy and challenging year with 2 riders in 2 different classes and I am keen to get started, we are excited to have Hayden onboard and looking forward to seeing what we can do with the new ZX-6R 636. Paris has been working really hard in the off-season and with his rookie season behind him, I feel he will start to show his speed. Thanks to Kawasaki Motors Australia, Landscapesupplies.com.au, Australian United Timbers, Maximair, and New Holland for their continued support”
The first round kicks off alongside World Superbikes at Phillip Island on 23rd-25th February.
