The Suzuki International Superbike series in New Zealand kicks-off next month for the first of three rounds at Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park on December 6th.
And following a revised and abbreviated 2020 National Superbike series, due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, Suzuki-supported Scott Moir is on a mission for the annual Suzuki Tri-series ahead of the 2021 championships.
Moir, from Taupo, finished a close runner-up in the national series, which was wrapped up early in March due to the restrictions of motorsport.
But now the race scene is starting to heat up once again and this puts pressure on Moir and his fellow competitors to quickly get back up to speed, especially in the relatively COVID-19-free country.
The three-round series rivals even the Superbike Nationals in terms of popularity and typically attracts the cream of the crop across various bike categories.
Most focus tends to fall on the elite Superbike class and Moir is among the favourites to win that class any time he heads out onto a New Zealand race track.
