Grassroots focus for new Superbike Pathways Foundation
Building a strong Supersport 150 class and creating clear pathways for aspiring young New Zealand riders will be the focus of the new Superbike Pathways Foundation.
Foundation Purpose
The purpose of the Superbike Pathways Foundation (SPF) is to drive the growth of the Star Insure NZ Superbike Championship (NZSBK), with a particular focus on nurturing junior talent in the Supersport 150 and Supersport 300 classes.
SPF will support emerging riders through financial assistance, sponsorship opportunities, mentorship, and dedicated rider training. By building partnerships with grassroots racing organisations, SPF will establish clear and accessible pathways into NZSBK.
In addition, SPF will introduce incentives to inspire young riders to progress from entry-level competition through to the highest levels of motorcycle racing in New Zealand — and beyond onto the international stage.
