The organisation behind World Superbike racer Neil Hodgson have teamed up with Ducati to take part in the search for a British champion of the future.

The GSE Racing team, who are backing Hodgson and teammate James Toseland's world championship challenges this season, are taking part in a bid to find new British talent.

GSE Racing, backed by HM Plant for their World Superbike challenge this season, have teamed up with importers Ducati UK to run the 2002 Monster S4 Challenge and will prepare the machines for the newest addition to the British Superbike calendar.

GSE Racing backed both current World Superbike Champion Troy Bayliss and Hodgson to successive British titles in 1999 and 2000 respectively.
