Westy, as he is affectionately known, made the tough jump up from the fierce 125-Championship where he finished runner in up in 2006 to his Centurion team-mate Dan Cooper, to the closely fought Supersport class.

He wrapped the title up with three rounds still to go, and he has won six of the ten Cup rounds. He best result of the year came at Thruxton where he finished fourth in the overall Championship.

Race Team Manager Gary Stubbington said, "Westy has worked hard all year and it's a great pleasure to win the Championship again. The team as a whole have worked extremely hard to get to this point and it's good to get something back in return. We are hoping that both Westy and Dan get some good results at the remaining three rounds and that we can finish the season again on a high note."

A delighted Westmoreland said, "Obviously it is very nice to have wrapped the Cup Championship up with three rounds to go. I must thank the team and Dunlop for all their hard work that they have put it to make it possible, and my personal sponsors, Ethos Surface Solutions and my family and friends. I'm now looking forward to my home round at Cadwell Park in a few weeks time, followed by two of my favourite circuits, Donington and Brands. It would be nice to end the season on the main podium and improve on my top 10 in the overall Championship."

Last year the team made history by winning all twelve races in their first season and this time round they have wrapped it up early. With three events still to go they aren't prepared to sit back and relax, they are still out to win.
