Carrickfergus native Andrew Irwin put pen to paper today as he signed for Simon Buckmasters World Supersport team for 2018.
Having had terrific 2017 outing on the Gearlink Kawasaki, Irwin jumped at the chance to take to the World stage on the CBR Hondas.
Spending 2017 chasing his first win, thwarting the efforts of BSB Supersport champion Keith Farmer, Irwin nailed it in Brands Hatch as well as securing 2nd position in this highly competitive class.
Irwin will prepare for the championship by testing extensively in Europe and then on to Australia before embarking on the series.
He brings with him his loyal sponsors MET Healthcare, James Jamieson Construction and Aquarius Couriers.
