About the ACU Suzuki GSX-R Trophy

Welcome to the ACU Suzuki GSX-R Trophy, a series designed by racers, for racers.

This exciting ten round Championship now enters it second year on the back of a stunningly successful 2007.  Conceived by the ACU, created in partnership with Suzuki GB, Crescent Suzuki and Dunlop Tyres, the Championship has two clear objectives. To provide existing club riders and those new to motorcycle road racing with equitable and simple racing class that is financially viable for the average person, whilst providing a stepping stone to National Championship competition.

The ACU Suzuki GSX-R Trophy will address the two main hurdles facing club racers: Cost and access to suitable race meetings.  This class provides a fixed price race Championship of ten rounds for a one off fee of £10,970.21 plus VAT (£12,890 inc VAT).  Riders can budget for just the ten round championship or as many additional meetings as they wish.
