Our team have been racing for 11 years and have many firsts including;

  • Racing the first Moto3 bikes at just 12 years old
  • Being  young European factory riders at 8 years old on pocket bikes
  • Doing a full season in the 600cc Stock class at just 15 years old.

During 2013 Wigley Racing have teamed up with The Black Country University Technical College and we will be taking a team of 12 students who are all studying Engineering to push the envelope taking the theory of day to day classroom work to practical hands on experience at the race circuit.

We have been extremely lucky with a number of well known companies becoming involved with this project, amongst others, Yamaha, K-Tech, Dynojet UK, Blue Flame, Hel who have all agreed to assist with spending time with our group of students with training exercises and hands on workshops to develop their knowledge further.

As the year progresses the students will gain more and more responsibility with the set up of the machines and making decisions following regular de-briefings with the riders.  As they learn more from our sponsor companies and mechanics this will assist with these processes.

Our students have already learned the importance of the whole team and without their support the riders cannot go out and do their job efficiently.  We are looking forward to a successful year ahead.
