EVESHAM-based team Jones-Dorling Racing are holding a launch night on Saturday ahead of the new season.

They compete in the National Superstock Series, which supports the British Superbike Championship, but were hit by the death of Cornwall-based owner and the team’s key sponsor Neil Dorling in January after a short illness.

Having signed promising Irish rider Cody Nally, the team want to raise their profile and attract new sponsors at the Golden Cross, Harvington, at 7.30pm.

The race bike will be at the pub along with 21-year-old Nally and everyone is welcome to attend.

JD Racing will also promote their Club 38 scheme where, for £100, people receive a T-shirt, stickers, key ring, members’ card and a weekend ticket to an upcoming race of their choice plus hospitality.

They can also have their name put on the team’s website in an additional sponsors’ section.
