Hey racing enthusiasts, hold on tight because the PBM (that's Paul Bird Motorsports) crew is gearing up for another thrilling season in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship! 🏍️🏆
The Bird family legacy is hitting the track once again as Jordan and Frank Bird step into their late father Paul Bird's shoes, determined to clinch a tenth championship title. Last year's nail-biting finish saw PBM securing a one-two with Tommy Bridewell and Glenn Irwin, making it the closest championship decider in history.
Speaking of Glenn Irwin, he's back for his fifth season with PBM, and after a cracking campaign last year, he's ready to chase that elusive tenth title. Irwin, a Northern Irish speed demon, has a history of milestones with PBM, from his debut in 2016 to snagging podiums and his first race win.
Irwin's loyalty to PBM shines through, and he's pumped about the upcoming season. Reflecting on last year's excitement and challenges, he's all about looking forward. With 18 wins and 18 podium finishes in 2023, Irwin's eyes are set on the big one – that tenth championship title.
But hold your horses, folks – Irwin's not underestimating the challenges ahead. He knows there's work to be done, changes to adapt to, and he's not taking anything for granted. The competition is fierce, and Irwin is geared up for the hard graft to secure those race wins and success.
Team owners Jordan and Frank Bird Jr. are equally stoked to confirm PBM's return to the grid. Proud of last year's achievements, they're ready to continue the legacy and, fingers crossed, bag that Championship title this season. The emotional rollercoaster of the past few months is in the rearview mirror, and the Bird family is grateful for the support from partners and fans.
So, mark your calendars for April when the PBM Team officially launches, setting the stage for another heart-pounding season at the 2024 Bennetts British Superbike Championship. Stay tuned, rev your engines, and let's keep Paul Bird's memory alive on the racetrack! 🏁✨
