With seven riders competing in two classes, Füsport-RT Motorsports by SKM-Kawasaki is heading to Assen for the International German Championship. Tom Booth-Amos, currently second in the Supersport 300 World Championship, will also be competing in the team’s home race in the Netherlands.
When the IDM makes its way to the TT Circuit from August 13 to 15, 2021, Füsport-RT Motorsports by SKM-Kawasaki will be going all out.
Tom Booth-Amos, who has already won two World Championship races this year, is set to support his teammates Marvin Siebdrath, Jorke Erwig, and Luca de Vleeschauwer. However, the 25-year-old Briton is participating in the IDM as a guest rider and will therefore not earn any championship points. That doesn’t matter; every single race brings him closer to the ideal line. Booth-Amos has found his passion in the Supersport 300 class. That’s where his career took off in 2020. Right at the season opener in Jerez, the Kawasaki Ninja rider finished second in Saturday’s race. On Sunday, Booth-Amos also landed on the podium in third place. As an absolute rookie, he thus led the World Championship. Over the course of the season, the newcomer won one race. He finished sixth overall at the end of the season. In 2021, Booth-Amos is among the title favorites.
Another rider on the rise is the young Swede Frederik Belin. The 17-year-old competes for the official Kawasaki Sweden team in the Scandinavian Supersport 300 Championship. Like Booth-Amos, he will be making a guest appearance at Assen.
In the IDM Supersport class, the well-known duo of Assen expert Rob Hartog and Dino Iozzo is set to compete. Team manager Rob Vennegoor says: “The field of competitors has gotten significantly stronger this year, which only adds to the excitement. The fact that we’re allowed to race in front of a live audience again further fuels our hunger for success.”
