Man TT this year to watch Michael Dunlop take
Supersport victory on his Carl Cox supported
machinery. The recent Philip Island MotoGP
event also saw him meet up with racing legend
Valentino Rossi to open Carl’s new venture near
the circuit; the Inline 4 Cafe.
The event has a quality field including
Austrian roads star Horst Saiger, New Zealand
home heroes Sloane Frost, Scotty Moir and
Kiwi MotoAmerica star Shane Richardson. Carl
Cox Motorsport is also supporting other riders
including Jay Lawrence who it took to the Isle
of Man for his debut at the Classic TT, Livio
Zampieri (Italy) plus Tony and Mitch Rees.
Peter Hickman said, “What a great
opportunity this is; getting away from the UK
winter, seeing New Zealand for the first time
and racing motorbikes at some great new
circuits!
I’ve met Carl at the Philip Island Classic and
Isle of Man TT and always been impressed with
how he’s helped so many riders. He clearly
does it for the love of it and guys like him are
few and far between. So I’m mega thankful
he’s taken an interest in bringing me over and
supplying a bike to race on.
We have Macau this week and then I’m
swatting up on the three circuits, whilst the
team has already been in contact about bike
set-up and even what branding I’d like on the
bike. Obviously we’re coming for the racing
but we’re also really looking forward to seeing
the country, we’ve heard so many great things
about it, bring it on!”
Carl Cox commented, “After seeing Hicky
demolish the TT course this year we thought it
would be really cool to try and bring him over
to the New Zealand series, so I’m well chuffed
he’s agreed!
I love New Zealand and there is so much
passion for motorsport, the locals are going
to love watching Hicky race as much as we
will. We’ll also make sure he gets a great Kiwi
welcome and see this amazing country whilst
he’s here!”
