Charlotte-based motorcycle racer Aaron League is set to become the
youngest American to tackle the IMGold Manx Grand Prix next month. The
23-year-old will join Lancashire-based Rea Racing to pilot a Suzuki SV650 in the
Newcomers B and Supertwin classes.
League will make his debut on the Isle of Man at this year’s IMGold Manx
Grand Prix ahead of a planned assault on the 2015 Pirelli National Superstock
600 Championship, as he bids to break onto the British short circuit racing
scene. He began racing in the US Championship Cup series at the beginning of
2013, and so far this year has racked up 12 podiums and six race victories in
the Lightweight division, and is currently the points leader of the GTL class on
a Suzuki SV650.
However he has always wanted to tackle the gruelling 37.73mile Isle of Man
Mountain Course, and this year has been given the chance to contest the event.
The IMGold Manx Grand Prix runs as part of the Isle of Man Festival of
Motorcycling which includes the Classic TT which this year will feature some of
the biggest names in road racing including Michael Dunlop, John McGuinness and
Bruce Anstey.
“I’ve been wanting to race on the Isle of Man for years now, and I
finally created the right opportunities to make it happen,” said League. “It’s
not going to be easy, and the work is going to continue full-stick until the
very end of the fortnight, but I am absolutely up for the challenge.
Huge thanks go out to Ben Rea and Rea Racing for setting me up with a
top-notch Supertwin. With a great machine under me, I’ll be able to focus solely
on learning the course and getting around quickly and safely.”
Following the IMGold Manx Grand Prix, League will be pursuing a ride in the
UK’s National Superstock 600 Championship. Considered by many to be a hotbed of
upcoming superbike talent, his aim is to break into what he believes is the best
domestic racing series in the world.
“The Manx is my priority at this point, but I do want to use this as a
potential springboard into the British series because I think the UK’s racing
scene is the best in the world, and as I still plan on pursuing the short
circuit route, racing in the UK is vital to the direction I want my racing
career to go. I want to take this opportunity to thank my sponsors for
the continued support and guidance - Cornerspeed/Cornerspin, Willow Downs
Performance, Spyke, LS2 Helmets and Zoeburn.com.”
