Tyler King's road to Grand Prix

Our last update on Tyler back was in January (article here Tyler King's road to Grandprix - Update Jan 23). We found out he had crashed on his 150cc bike while down at the New Zealand Super Bike Championship (NZSBK) in Christchurch. He suffered four broken bones in his throttle hand and was out of competing for about 6 weeks. Well, in February he was back already raring to go, having been cleared by his surgeons.

Early March at Motofest in Hampton Downs, Tyler achieved 4^th overall; with his first round not completed, second round he came 2^nd and final race came 1^st.

In Taupo the following weekend, during the last round of NZSBK, Tyler had multiple podiums on the 3 bikes during the weekend, with some very exciting racing. Winning the round with a 1, 1, 2 result!

He has the Kayo Grand Prix on 16th April and round 1 of the VMCC Champs in Manfield this coming weekend. Tyler's hoping to win the championship. An amazing effort at a mere age of 16. Tyler’s passion for motorbike racing is clear from his social media presence. This has been Tyler's rookie season, but his successes thus far serve as a reminder that with hard work, dedication, and the support of others, anything is possible.
