Motorcycle racing stars Taylor Mackenzie and Danny Webb have launched an online platform aimed at helping fresh talent break into British and global racing championships.
Called ‘The Paddock Network’, the online site aims to attract everyone from mechanics and truck drivers to media staff and riders, helping to break down barriers for those wanting to get involved but who don’t have direct connections to people already in the sport.
“Everyone in racing knows how chaotic this process can be,” former National Superstock champion and website co-founder, Taylor Mackenzie said.
“Right now, teams rely on scattered Facebook posts and word of mouth to find available riders or staff. If a mechanic becomes free, or a rider is looking for a seat, there has never been a central place to go.”
Job ads are available for all levels of racing, and interested candidates can create personal profiles and upload their CVs. Several roles are already posted, including a full-time workshop mechanic for the MLav Racing Moto3 team and an HGV driver for the Rokit Rookie Kawasaki squad in the British Superbike paddock.
“We want to build the missing link in motorsport,” Danny Webb added. “This is a place where everyone in the paddock can finally connect.”
Both riders say the idea for the website was inspired by their own experiences and messages from people eager to break into a career in motorsport.
The hope is that riders will have the chance to show off their achievements and skills directly to interested teams, instead of depending solely on social media. For more details and to sign up, check out the website today.
