Reigning Hel Motostar Champion Brandon Paasch will join Jake Archer in the RS Racing British GP2 team for 2020.

RS Racing - run by Ryan Saxelby - are backed by Kovara Projects and will be trying to secure their third title in the class.

“I am beyond stoked to be joining the Kovara Projects/RS Racing team for the 2020 British GP2 Championship. I have wanted to work with this team for a long time now and I’m really looking forward to the new season," said Paasch.

I would like to thank Ryan and the whole team for this opportunity; I think we have the potential to get some solid results this year.

“I am spending the off-season in California training hard with a great group of people at The W training facility to come back even stronger and sharper than last season and I am looking forward to Silverstone for round one. Finally, I would like to thank my personal sponsors Arai, Spidi, CCC Manhattan, Luxestar VIP and of course Big Bird.”

Archer added: “This will be my second year on the Kalex GP2 machine and I am really looking forward to the season. After a dip in confidence midway through 2019 I am looking forward to a much more positive and competitive 2020.

“I have been training hard over the winter months and have recently spent four days out in Spain on a stock 600 bike re-building my confidence, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Hopefully we can transfer this to the GP2 bike when we go back out testing with the team in early March. I would just like to thank Ryan at RS Racing, Peter & Sheryl at Kovara Projects and all my sponsors for their continued support.”
