Smrz, Mainwaring to line-up for Smiths BMW in 2016 BSB series

Former World Superbike star Jakub Smrz has signed to ride for the Smiths BMW team in next year’s MCE British Superbike Championship and he will be joined by Howie Mainwaring.

Smrz joins the team for his first campaign on the BMW after experience in the championship with both Yamaha and Ducati, claiming top ten finishes and a pole position in past seasons. The Czech is now confident of a strong season with the Smiths Racing BMW team.

Kent-based Mainwaring will also make the switch to the German manufacturer for his 2016 campaign and the MCE BSB race winner is ready to fight even harder next year after securing a string of top ten finishes this year.

“I’m very excited about this new adventure and really happy to join Smiths Racing for 2016. The team did very well in their first season in Superbike and showed that they have big potential. Having experienced staff and lot of passion for racing, I’m sure that we will be competitive. I can’t wait to start testing and begin working with the Smiths team to get my first impression of the BMW. My 2015 season wasn’t my best for many reasons so I’m even more motivated for 2016 and working harder than ever before ready to get started,” said Smrz

Mainwaring added: “I am really looking forward to the 2016 season and can’t wait to start working with everyone at Smiths Racing and alongside a very experienced team-mate in Kuba. I feel with my team-mate’s experience and my determination it will work really well and it will show with the results. To be honest I can’t tell you how excited I am as words can’t express my feelings. It’s time to get my head down now and up the training ready for the first test on the bike which can’t come soon enough.”
