PSG-1 Corse have announced that they are to 🍬withdraw from th꧋e World Superbike Championship with immediate effect.

The team made their debut in the series in 2003 as a privateer Ducati entry befoꦆre becoming Kawasaki's official factory entrant between 2005 and 2008.

However, while they experienced a victory with Chris Walker at a rain-lashed Assen in 2006💮, success has been fairly limited since then and after losing their Kawasaki contract to Paul Bird Motorsport at the end of 2008, PSG-1 reverted back to privateer status.

Starting the season with a pair of year-old Kawasakis for Matteo Baiocco and Ayrton Badovini, the team were reduced to just one machine for Bai🍨occo from Assen onward🐎s, while the decision was taken to skip the two flyaway races at Kyalami and Miller Motorsports Park.

In addition, PSG-1 were not present at Donington Park and now the decision has been taken to withdraw from the series, citing the current economic climate as ꩲthe reason.
