World Superbike legend Aaron Slig💛ht helped Cal Crutchlow unveil this special Castrol livery for the British MotoGP at Silverstone.

Slight, who raced in iconic Castrol Honda colouܫrs during the 1990s, claimed 1ꦆ3 wins and 87 podiums during a WorldSBK career that spanned from 1988-2000.

𝔍"They were glory days and Superbike was goin෴g from strength to strength at the time," said the 51-year-old New Zealander.

"There were some scraps, but you need some characters in the field and I hope I added to that a little bit! but it was serious stuff back then and we were pioneering our way through the Superbike era, which was re༺ally big a💯t the time, and emotions get the best of you at times...

"Now they make rules for that - you can't pull over and pull people to൩ the ground after the race and things like that! They were really, really good times. It was amazing for me. The four-cylinder era against the twins. Very emotional times."

Asked for his opin♛ion on MotoGP, Slight (pictured comparing fin🥀ger injuries with Lucio Cecchnelli) replied:

"It's a really great sport to watch, it's the best racing out there. I record the races in New Zealand and don’t let anybody tell me the result until I've watched it the next morning! It's getting closer and cl🍎oser at t🌼he front and that's the main thing. You need close racing."

🌱After revealing Crutchlow's race colour, Slight quipped: "I thought they were bringing me back to ride it!"

"It looks good - it'd look even better if Aaron was on i🉐t I reckon!" stated Crutchlow﷽.

"It's always special to ride in the Castrol livery. It's iconic. I remember watching as a kid with Aaron and Colin. Then I had ꦰthe privilege to be Colin's team-mate and now I get to ride Castrol bikes."

Crutꦫchlow finished runner-up in last year's Silverstone MotoGP race for LCR Honda.

"I've come into this weekend befo𒈔re thinking I can be on the podium and I never even made the race. So you never know here. It can throw up a complete lottery and hopefully that lottery will go in my favour this weekend. We'll try and do the best job we can."
