Teenager Elliott impresses in Germany!

Josh Elliott, a 15 year old from Northern Ireland, has been given special dispensation to race in the German supersport championship with the McWilliams Superbike Academy on a Honda CBR600RR prepped by German AB Tuning. Elliott is being coached by Jeremy McWilliams (who is also racing in the championship) on a CCTV Direct sponsored team put together by Gerry Bryce, the man behind Racedays.

The basic facts are that Elliott, is learning his craft with Direct CCTV-Racedays (Jeremy McWilliams Superbike Academy team) and at the Oschersleben round of the IDM he qualified 19th in a grid of 43. befor going on to finish 11th and 15th. Which is impressive considering it was his first time at the circuit.

It’s worth clicking on to young Elliott’s website because, although he’s still very young, he’s been mini-moto racing for a while now and appears to have what you might call ‘natural talent’ backed up by plenty of opportunity to exploit it. We’d be amazed if we didn’t hear more about Elliott in the next couple of seasons.
