Multisport Retail Showroom, AdrenalinX - www.adrenalinx.com - are pleased to confirm their involvement with Team nVidia for British Superbikes in 2005.

Team nVidia, sponsors of GR Motorsport, will for the first time be competing in the élite British Superbike championship - named to be the toughest national class in the world - and also in the 125cc series.

Both riders will run on Yamahas - Dennis Hobbs on the R1 in the Superbike class, and female competitor Lisa Thorne in the 125 class. Both are looking forward to their season ahead, and are keen to get things underway. Thorne remains with the team for another year and will be putting the new Yamaha through its paces, and hoping to gain some strong results. She has achieved a very successful career to date and is constantly looking to improve on that.

Thorne will be kited out in AdrenalinX/Dainese products for the forthcoming season. As one of the very few female competitors at this level, she has gained herself a very creditable reputation in the British paddock. Gaining a number of podium positions at club level, and smashing various female records, Lisa is confident of a good year ahead on her new bike.

Team Director of GR Motorsport, Brent Gladwin, commented, ‘This year will be a really exciting year for us, and we are very much looking forward to moving into the Superbike class. I’d like to take the opportunity to thank all our sponsors for their help and ongoing support.’

The race dates are as follows:
Round 1: March 26/27/28 Brands Hatch Indy
Round 2: April 8/9/10 Thruxton
Round 3: April 22/23/24 Mallory Park

Brent Gladwin also arranged for the new PS2 game to be previewed at the AdrenalinX launch last week, via Jester Interactive Publishing. The new game ‘Isle of Man TT’ which features Team nVidia rider Lisa Thorne, made its first public début at Brands Hatch last week. It entertained the likes of Gary Mason, Shane Byrne and Leon Haslam for hours, keeping the competition to both on and off the track.

The lifelike game demonstrates racing round the most prestigious race in the world, the Isle of Man TT. The game, which will be available to buy in the shops in February, will entertain all bike sport fans and will give some people the nearest opportunity they will get to racing round the ‘Island’ at speeds of 180mph.
