Privateers Championship

The 2010 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy hosts the inaugural TT Privateers Championship. The Championship allows independent solo teams and solo riders to achieve recognition for their efforts at the highest level. Each entry is judged on the ability and career to date of the rider, the bike they are riding and the operation, resources and structure of the team. All teams must declare they have no direct manufacturer assistance and any rider who has finished within the top 10 in any solo race at the previous year’s TT is automatically ineligible. Points are awarded to the first 15 eligible finishers in the Superbike, Royal London 360 Superstock, Monster Energy Supersport and the Dainese Senior TT. The prize for winning is £2,000, with £1,000 for second and £500 for third. (Photo: Pat Nolan)
