MLav Racing set for 2025 TT and NW200 :

MLav Racing will expand its presence into road racing for the 2025 season.

During MotoGP Free Practice One at the Argentine Grand Prix, it was unofficially announced that Michael Laverty will enter his MLav Racing team into the 2025 Isle of Man TT and North West 200.

An official announcement is expected in a few weeks, but Neil Hodgson made the announcement live on air.

Laverty will utilise BMW machinery during the two road racing events and  the machines will be ridden by TT Royalty in the form of  Ian Hutchinson alongside Mike Browne.

“We are forming a team for the Isle of Man TT and the North West 200 this year,” Laverty stated on TNT Sports.

“We will have a few accomplished riders on board… Ian Hutchinson and Irish rider Mike Browne. We will hopefully be officially announcing it in the next week or so.

“We will be operating BMW-powered machinery. I am currently finalising the livery, with a deadline today for RST to produce the suits in time for testing.

“Ian Hutchinson has 17 Isle of Man TT victories to his name, with his most recent triumph occurring in 2017 during the Superstock TT. The 45-year-old made his return to the TT in 2024 after missing the event in 2023 due to a stroke.

Mike Browne has quickly established himself as a rising star at the TT. The Irish rider made his debut at the event in 2019 and has since competed in 14 TTs, securing two podium finishes, both in the Supertwin TT.”

TT Sportbike Regulations (from 2027)

The Isle of Man TT has officially called time on 14 years of Supertwin machinery, locking in full Sportbike regulations from TT 2027. Moving away from runaway build costs and bespoke exotica, the switch introduces a proven Balance of Performance formula aligned with the British National Championship—promising tighter grids, major factory backing, and an affordable, direct runway to the Mountain Course for the next generation of road racers.
