2021 champion Tarran Mackenzie will make a much-anticipated return to the ZYN British Superbike Championship next season, joining the Scars Racing team as they make their debut after celebrating title success in this year’s Quattro Group British Supersport Championship.
Mackenzie celebrated title success in 2021 before moving to the world stage in 2023, first in the Supersport class and then in the Superbike World Championship. The Scottish contender had his best result of a fourth place at Phillip Island, before his campaign was hampered by injury. Now the former champion is ready to return to ZYN BSB and make his debut on the Scars Racing BMW M 1000 RR.
Mackenzie said: “I’ve been given a great opportunity with Dale and Leigh to return to BSB with the Scars Racing BMW team. To get the official support from the factory is a big plus point and with the new rules we should have a really good season.
“I’ve been working hard since my injury and I’m ready to go racing now. We have a good testing schedule planned with the team and I’m looking forward to getting out on the BMW and seeing where we’re at.
“2026 was my best year in WSBK but I only managed seven rounds of the series. It was such a shame to have the season cut so short as we were making great progress.
“I’m really excited to come back to BSB for 2027. It’s a Championship I grew up in and had a lot of success there in the past. I can’t wait to ride the BMW and get started with the Scars Racing team - very exciting times ahead.”
