Yamaha Motor Australia is planning to launch a YZF-R3 championship in 2016 aimed at attracting new riders to road racing.
To get this series off the ground, Yamaha is seeking expressions of interest.
One model race series are designed to attract newcomers to the sport because the playing field is levelled, the emphasis becomes on racecraft and rider skill.
The Australian based Yamaha Racing Development team has produced a race kit for the YZF-R3, which is comprised of racing fibreglass bodywork, OEM screen, footpeg and handlebar repositioning kits, race exhaust, fork and shock springs, crash knobs, swingarm bobbins and a range of rear sprockets.
Technical regulations are currently being developed by Motorcycling Australia in conjunction with Yamaha and allowable modifications to the stock machine are minimal to keep costs down.
The series is slated for five rounds as part of the 2016 ASBK winter series beginning in March.
Each of the five rounds will consist of practice, qualifying and three races.
Those interested can contact the people at Yamaha Racing Development by email.
