Welcome to the official Mark Purslow Racing Facebook page. Thank you for supporting Mark and liking this page. Feel free to share and like with friends.
***Background***
Mark is 23 years old from West Wales, Aberystwyth who has grown up around bikes his whole life. His Dad Colin Purslow has always raced the circuits and Isle of Man races inspiring Mark to take the plunge in 2015. With some circuit experience and a bike built by them both, the novice Mark dove headfirst in to learning the Isle of Man course.
***Mark's 2015 Lightweight race win***
Mark made his debut on the mountain course at the Isle of Man Manx Grand Prix and won the lightweight race 2015. His efforts were second to none with an all-round performance on the CBR 400 Honda. Being a newcomer to one of the most famous and known to be dangerous racing circuits in the World, winning was above all of his expectations - especially as the lightweight race contained some fantastic and experienced MGP riders. However, the hard work and effort certainly paid off with him winning:
- Lightweight MGP 2015 race
- Pam Cannell Trophy for fastest lap of the race 108.180 MPH
- Philip Hayhurst trophy for Best Newcomer
***Mark in 2016***
This year Mark planned to attack the course on his newly purchased ER6 Kawasaki in the Isle of Man TT. Mark unfortunately had an accident a few weeks before this event leaving him with a broken arm and not being able to race therefore; has entered the Classic TT in August.
Many people have been asking how they can help Mark in one way or another and although we all pull together and help out (family and friends) to get over to the Isle of Man - without financial backing it's very difficult. Help us to spread the word and ensure Mark can compete in as many races as possible.
We are hoping this page helps Mark’s talents to get noticed further and even signed to a racing team. We all have our fingers crossed for the humble and talented young Welshman -so for now he is going to continue to work hard to strike again in the Isle of Man this year.
