GYTR Yamaha Junior Racing powers on in 2021
Entering its 20th year since inception, and the 15th year as a national development program, GYTR Yamaha Junior Racing shows no signs of slowing down and will power on to greater heights in 2021, announcing a massive 13 rider line up spanning many categories.
The 13 rider line up spreads all the way from the 65ccc division, to the newly formed MX3 class at the Pro MX, GYTR Yamaha Junior Racing will again lead the way in rider development as well as show case the high performance and comprehensive range of Yamaha motorcycles for up and coming stars.
Continuing with a hands-on, state by state support program that allows riders and families to work with team managers, many of whom are ex-professional racers and coaches, Yamaha Junior Racing has always proven to be a pathway to success with a long list of riders progressing through the program and onto a career in racing.
Each rider is asked to contest the local series in their region, their state motocross championships as well the pinnacle of junior racing, the week-long Australian Junior Motocross Championships held in the last week of September.
The Yamaha Junior Racing Team has become a main stay in racing for nearly two decades now and its testament to Yamaha Motor Australia for their passion and dedication to racing. 2021 promises to be another exciting year for the team with a full calendar back in place in all states and a dozen overly enthusiastic and energetic dirt bike racers desperate to be back on the race track.
