That'll be brilliant. From the sounds of it, Tom Sykes on the Rizla Suzuki was only budgeted for the one wildcard entry at Brands Hatch, but after his great performance I hope they find a way to race at Donny too.

wasnt there a topic about this already?

Anyway, I think Ellison will be on a SBK spec bike, not sure if HM Plant will use SBK or BSB spec bikes

I Think you could be right,i've read it somewhere that ellison's team are planning to use a world superbike engine.

Not sure it'll matter either way, Sykes did quite well with his BSB spec bike.

Isn't it great to see competitive wildcards back again :)

It seems they did and Sykes will also wildcard at Donington

Eugene Laverty will replace Fabien Foret at the Yamaha World Supersport Team for Donington and Vallelunga.

This is a good chance for Eugene at a track he knows to show what he can do with a top bike. It may help him get a WSS or SBK ride next season as his 250GP career doesnt seem to be going anywhere
