An exciting new chapter in the illustrious history of the Marc VDS Racing Team will start in 2024, with the squad thrilled to confirm it will compete in the World Superbike Championship for the first time with Sam Lowes and Ducati.
- Briton Lowes will change competition but not livery for the latest challenge in his successful career, as he prepares to move to?WorldSBK?to ride a?Ducati Panigale V4 R.
- For both?Lowes and Marc VDS Racing, the switch to WorldSBK together is the continuation of a fruitful relationship that began in the 2020 Moto2 World Championship. The 32-year-old has so far collected seven wins, 15 podiums and 12 poles in the world-renowned Marc VDS Racing Team livery.
- Lowes has previously raced in the?WorldSBK?paddock when he won the 2013 World Supersport title, and he’s determined to end his 10-year stint in the Grand Prix arena in style, starting with his home round at Silverstone in early August.
- The new WorldSBK project is born with the clear goal and ambition of replicating the Marc VDS Racing Team’s stunning success in the Moto2 World Championship where it has raced to over 100 podiums and taken three world titles in 2014, 2017 and 2019.
- The Marc VDS Racing Team has been a constant presence on the Moto2 grid since the new category was first introduced in 2010 and currently leads this year’s title chase with Tony Arbolino. And the squad is delighted to confirm?it will continue its quest for more success in Moto2 in the 2024 season and beyond?with a two-rider effort.

1 年It's a great shame to see Sam leaving the MotoGP paddock ?? But it's on to a different paddock where I have no doubt he'll show his World Class once again, and on formidable machinery too ?? ?? ??
