Youngster Thomas Strudwick will return to action this season after securing his place in the 2020 British GP2 Championship with Spirit Motorcycles, in partnership with a new title sponsor, Moto Corsa.

Following his successful rookie year in the class, where Strudwick secured eight podium finishes and ended the season in fifth place in the overall standings, on a former Grand Prix-winning FTR Moto2 machine, Moto Corsa have now joined forces with the team, which will run as Spirit Moto Corsa for the 2020 campaign.

“After a fantastic first year in the GP2 class, I’m ecstatic to be able to continue for the 2020 season," said Strudwick.

"With a great end to 2019, I was keen to put in place plans to stay in the class and I am delighted that Spirit Motorcycles have already begun development of a GP2 motorcycle. It is also fantastic that the team is incredibly focused on achieving their goals, allowing me to completely focus on my racing.”
