Diablo 666 will be racing at Suzuka 8hrs!
Sensational news! Diablo 666 will be racing at one of the most famous races in the world, the Suzuka 8hrs on 31st July, less than two years after having been formed, racing against the best superbike and endurance machinery produced by the big four Japanese manufacturers.

This is the one race that all the factories want to win. Win the race and sales of your motorbikes rocket in Japan.

Originally it had not been intended for the Team to be at this event but after the fantastic start made by the Diablo 666 Team to the start of the 2005 season, after two rounds the Team is currently lying 4th in the table, the Team just could not afford to miss out on the chance to score yet more championship points at this prestigious event.

The cost is astronomic but after many hours of negotiating, Team Principal, Miles Hutchins, has secured the necessary funding to enable the Team to ship the bikes and a skeleton screw out to the event. The flights are booked and paid for and the Team will be there! The organisation of such an event is made even more complicated with the Oschersleben 24hrs being less than a fortnight later.

The rider line-up will be Diablo 666 regulars James Hutchins and Steve Mizera being joined by new Team recruit Gary Mason, well known to all British Superbike fans.

The other mega good news is that partner Team, Bolliger Kawasaki, currently lying 2nd in the points table, will also be there! The combined Bolliger and Diablo 666 Kawasaki squads aim to score as many points as is possible against the might of the full factory teams and the other permanent teams making the trip to Japan. The Diablo 666 Team will now truly be mixing it with the big boys in only its second year in existence!
