Future Stars championship – helping young Irish Motorcycle Racers build their careers
At the Masters Superbike CHampionship we always aim to support our up and coming young Motorcycle racers and thats why we have set up the Future Stars initiative, with the help of DM Groundworks, Sorcon Plant, Motorland and the Motorcycle Racers Supporters Club.
The backing of our sponsors allows us to provide a €5,000 prizefund, to be awarded to the top three racers from this years Masters series, who are twenty years old or younger.
The ‘Future Stars’ aims to assist young Irish racers financially, as they take the next step in their careers, while also identifying a new Irish International Motorcycle Racing star. The winner of the award will receive guidance with the next stage of their career and a cash award of €3,000, with €1,250 and €750 going to second and third.
The unique award format sees all riders who are twenty years old or younger battle against each other even though they are competing in different racing classes. A points system which rewards riders for the number of competitors they finish ahead of will incentivise those racing in the more competitive classes and will reward the riders who have had to battle hardest for their success. Riders will also score points for finishing in the top three of any race with six bonus points available for a win, four for second and two points for third, whatever number of starters there are in their race.
All riders who are twenty years old or younger at the beginning of the first race of the season will automatically be eligible for the award. At the end of the season the points scored by each rider will be tallied using the same format as the overall Masters Championship, with riders counting their best three weekends from the first four events of the season along with all points scored over the final two events of the year. The top three overall will receive their cash awards along with their trophies at the annual Masters awards night.
