After an initial foray in 2001 with our Mechanical Velvet MV Agusta into the world of endurance racing, it was decided to enter the full KRC British Endurance championship in 2002.

With most of our rivals mounted on Yamaha R1's and Suzuki GSXR1000's it was going to be a real challenge to get the MV Agusta F4 on the pace.

The team rose to the challenge admirably, recording a class win and 2nd overall at Pembrey in the second round, followed by an outright win at Snetterton.

It was back to Pembrey for the final round where a win would have secured the championship, it was not to be with mechanical problems ending our challenge.
