Surtees heads new 'Maxtra' team.

The new 'Maxtra' team will use Haojue machinery produced by the Grand River Group (GRG), which sold over 2.7 million motorcycles last year, and be spearheaded by Surtees, who won the 500cc World Championship four times between 1956 and 1960 before claiming the 1964 Formula One World Championship for Ferrari.

I didn't see that one coming.

rolly how wrong can you be !!!!

Three years in the making, the new British squad has called on a wealth of experience to get off the ground, and has been formed in conjunction with a major Chinese motorcycle manufacturer.

As well as John Surtees, one of the major driving forces behind the project is Garry Taylor, who was boss of Suzuki's factory MotoGP effort for nearly 30 years before he stepped down in 2004.

Taylor has used his network of influential contacts to get two-stroke engine specialist Jan Witteveen to design and build the new motor, while British experts Harris Performance have built the chassis.

Witteveen was the man who helped turn Aprilia into the major racing force it is

Surtees, Taylor, Witteveen... some great racing people gathered for this project.
Who will be the riders? Smith in 2009?
And what's with the Mickey Mouse girls in white playing with their mobiles
