The Leicester-based team, who has run Dean Ellison in the BSB series in 2008, released an official statement today to confirm their early exit.

Team Owner Pete Bradshaw said: “It is with great regret that Co-ordit Racing Team will be withdrawing from the 2008 Bennetts British Superbike Championship.

“With the down-turn in the economy I have had to make the reluctant decision to end the sponsorship to safe guard funds for what is predicted to be a hard time in our business sector.

“The team will now try and secure funding so that we can return as quickly as possible.

“Our thanks go out to all those sponsors who have helped and assisted with the team so far together with the staff at MSVR and Rob Mac Racing.”
