With just over 2 weeks until the start of the international Road Racing season Italy’s Fabio Menghi has been unveiled as VFT Racing’s sole entry into the 2015 World Supersport Championship.

Menghi will campaign a Yamaha R6 in the series, which will once again run alongside the prestigious World Superbike Championship at 13 venues around the globe.
The iconic Phillip Island circuit that hosts the opening round on Feb 22nd holds fond memories for Fabio, the Italian grabbing a top ten finish last year before racing to a career best 6th at the iconic Imola circuit later in the season.

VFT Racing are delighted to unveil a new association with KME Technology, announcing a completely new team of mechanics and technicians as part of their collaboration.

Fabio Menghi: “I’ve missed racing over the winter so I cannot wait to arrive in Australia for the opening race at Phillip Island. We had a good start to the season last year so everybody in the team is confident that we can have an even better start this year. I want to thank my family, all my sponsors, especially KME Technology for the opportunity to race this fantastic championship again.”

VFT Racing will also contest the FIM Europe Superstock 600cc Championship in 2015 with Italian rider Christopher Gobbi remaining with the squad for a second season. With a best result of 11th at Assen, Gobbi will be joined by a yet to be announced team mate.

Valerio Menghi – Team Manager: “I am very happy to confirm VFT Racing’s plans for this year. We have worked hard during the winter and are optimistic of building on our successes from 2014. Fabio is ready for Australia so we head to Phillip Island confident. Christopher is young and extremely fast so to have him remaining in our Superstock team delights us and we will support him as much as we can to achieve the podium.”

VFT Racing will take part in the official World Supersport tests at Phillip Island on the 16th and 17th February ahead of Round 1 which will take place a few days later.
