TAS HISTORY

THE SUZUKI
CONNECTION

A longstanding relationship with Suzuki GB was already in place, so TAS Racing were chosen to represent the Japanese factory in an official capacity in International Road Racing and later in British Superbike, which covered a 14-year period. During that time the team enjoyed considerable success in various guises before forming a new partnership with Tyco Security Products in 2012 – firstly with Suzuki and then in 2015 with BMW Motorrad as their official representatives.
