Rea and Haslam together in 2018 Kawasaki Suzuka line-up

Reigning WorldSBK Champion Jonathan Rea will make a welcome return to the Suzuka Eight-Hours in 2018 when he teams up with close friend Leon Haslam and Japanese Kawasaki star Kazuma Watanabe.

As the official Kawasaki Team Green entry, the riders have an enviable track-record in this and other racing classes including three world superbike titles and one Suzuka 8hr win for Rea, two Suzuka 8hr wins and world superbike race wins for Haslam and the Japanese JSB1000 experience for Watanabe.

"I’m really excited and honoured to be involved with Team Green for this year's Suzuka Eight-Hours. It’s a race very close to my heart and after winning in 2012 it was always my intention to return to this race," said Rea.

"Since I joined Kawasaki, we have always spoken about working together on this project and now is the right time with the schedule fitting perfect with my WorldSBK program. It’s one of the toughest races in the world and a true test of man and machine.

"I will also do some testing before the race to ensure we arrived prepared. Together with the whole Team Green Kawasaki team we will do our best to achieve a result that we can all be proud of."
