A new venture for the Australian rider in 2016.

Glenn Scott has joined forces with Team Lorini Italia Honda for the upcoming 2016 season in the FIM Supersport World Championship.

Australian Scott, now 24, debuted in World Supersport last year, riding for AARK Racing. He scored points in four of his 11 races, with a best result of 13th position in Portugal. Now he faces a new challenge at the helm of the Honda CBR600RR.

“I am very excited to sign with Team Lorini as they have an extremely professional outfit and are a very hard working team,” Scott comments. “I have a very good feeling about my year ahead and this is a really positive step forward in my career.

“Lorini Honda have been racing and competing on the world stage for many years. They have a wealth of knowledge in World Supersport and I feel that this will be a massive boost for my 2016 campaign. I will be lucky enough to have a team-mate this season, which I think will be a great advantage as I have never had one in the past; this will help with the development of the bike and my riding throughout the season.”

Prior to his WorldSSP debut last year, Scott was the Australia 125cc Champion in 2007 prior to stints in the 125 tier of the FIM CEV and three full seasons in the Australian Supersport Championship between 2011 and 2013. His 2016 team-mate at Team Lorini Italia Honda is yet to be named.
