Jamie Coward has added the Classic🍨 Superbike race to his 2024 Manx Gr🌠and Prix competition schedule and will race a Suzuki.

The Englishman will ca♑mpaign a Team York-run Suzuki GSX-R750 in the four-lap final race of the event on 26 August.

Coward was already down to compete in the 🧸Classic Senior race aboard a Craven Norton and the Classic Junior event aboard a Honda.

Team York haไs enjoyed reasonable success in the Classic Superbike class over the years, including podiums with Mark Buckley.

The squad switche🐻d from running an XR69 Suzuki to the GSX-R👍750 last year, with Mike Norbury finishing 16th on the bike in 2023.

Coward achieved a best lap of 124.229mph in 2019 in the c🦋lass and breached the top five in the 20♛18 race.

His appearance at the Manx GP comes after a strong showing at the Isle of Man TT earlier t🌱his year, in which he managed a best of fourth in the Supersport and Supertwin classes.

He withdrew from the Sen𓃲ior TT due to a forearm injur🐈y.
