Peter Hickman w🐼ill contest the three-round New Zealand Su🎐zuki Series over December after taking up the invitation from Carl Cox Motorsport.

The Isle of Man TT and British Superbike race-winner is cu💮rrently gearing up for the Macau Grand Prix, teaming up with Michael Rutter’s Aspire-Ho by Bathams Racing squad, and will continue his travels heading to New Zealand to compete with Carl Cox Motorsport’s Kiwi squad.

Hickman will take on the three-round series wh෴ich begins at the Bruce McLaren Motor Park (9 December), where Carl Cox Motorsport helps organise various track acti💯vities, before moving to the Manfield circuit for round two (16 December).

Then on Boxing Day Hickman heads to Cemetery Ci𝓡rcuit for the final event on the closed roads around Wanganui – a favour👍ite with road racers from around the world.

Carl Cox Motorsport will prepare a Superstock-specification BMW S1000RR liaising with Hickman’s usual crew for the baseܫ settings on the machine.

“What a gre🐲at opportunity this is; getting away from the UK winter, seeing New Zealand for the first time and racing motorbikes at some great new circuits,🅘” Hickman said.

“I’ve met Carl at the Philip Island Classic and Isle of Man TT and always been impressed with how he’s helped so many riders. He clಞearly does it for the love of it and guys like him are few and far between. So I’m mega thankful he’s taken an interest in bringing me over and supplying a bike to race on.

“We have Macau and then I’m swatting up on the three circuits, whilst the team have al♕ready been in contact about bike set-up and even what branding I’d like on the bike. Obviously we’re coming for the racing but we’re also really looking forward to seeing the country, we’ve heard so ma༺ny great things about it, bring it on.”

“After seeing Hicky demolish the TT course this year we thouౠght it would be really cool to try and brin🐠g him over to the New Zealand series, so I’m well chuffed he’s agreed,” Cox said.

“I love New Zealand and there is so much passion for motorsport over there, the locals a✤𒅌re going to love watching Hicky race as much as we will. We’ll also make sure he gets a great Kiwi welcome and see this amazing country whilst he’s here.”
