DORSET team Spirit Moto Corsa’s 2021 lineup for the British GP2 Cup is now confirmed, with Jamie Perrin joining the outfit alongside reigning champion Mason Law.
Perrin has impressed in British Supersport over the last few years, challenging at the sharp end of the field despite entering on a privately-run bike.
The 27-year-old joins the Shaftesbury-based Spirit Moto Corsa with previous experience in the GP2 class, picking up nine podiums across the first six events of the 2019 season.
Law is continuing with the team for a second season, having picked up the 2020 title in fine fashion with a double-victory at the Brands Hatch season finale.
The 25-year-old collected four wins and seven podiums in a hotly-contested campaign, eventually winning the championship by 22 points.
Following on from last year’s success, the team’s target is for both riders to compete for the GP2 title, as well as fighting at the top of the overall classification with British Supersport.
The team is bolstered by a continued title sponsorship deal with the Gillingham-based motorcycle dealership Moto Corsa.
There is also increased backing from Chedington Estate, whose branding features heavily on the team’s striking new-look livery.
Perrin said: “I’m looking forward to being back in the GP2 class for 2021 after a successful stint in the class in 2019. To be joining the team that’s come straight off the back of winning the championship is great.
“Obviously the aim for the season is to win the GP2 championship, but I imagine everyone has the same idea. I also want to be in a position to run competitively in the overall standings.”
Law said: “I’m really pleased to announce the news that I will be re-joining the team for the 2021 British GP2 season.
“Last season we were very much developing and racing the bike at each and every round, so to win the championship over a much shorter distance, for me, was a great achievement.
“There’s still plenty of work and improvement that can come from the package for this season.
“Obviously, the next couple of months are very important in terms of development, then hopefully we can kick-on and use the recently announced official tests as the platform for a strong and successful defence of the championship.”
