STR Honda is a brand new race team for 2008. The team has been formed by Steve Turner, who after sustaining a broken tib, fib and ankle in May 2007 whilst riding at Dean Moor, Cumbria decided to bring forward his long term ambition of running his own team.
The main focus will be on developing talented young riders, giving them the opportunity to maximise their potential and compete at the highest national level.
Championships which will be contested in 2008 are The KWS British Masters, the MMX Open Championship and the Maxxis British Championship, however the main focus will be given to the Maxxis British Championship.
The team started the season with two riders, 21 year old Jim Murro (2006 British under 21 champion) and 18 year old Nathan Parker with both riders contesting the MX1 class aboard Honda 450cc machines. However Nathan sustained a detached ACL after an accident at the first round of the Maxxis at Donnington Park leaving us with a vacancy which was subsequently filled by the naturally talented Jordan Rose.
The whole team is made up of individuals passionate about motocross and although each member is committed to having a serious seasons racing, no matter how well the riders do it will only be considered to be a successful season if each member also has a great deal of fun along the way.
