Film spotlight falls on Milwaukee Yamaha British Superbike team

I, Superbiker IV: The War For Four opens in Cineworld and Showcase cinemas across the UK this week

Guisborough's Milwaukee Yamaha British Superbike team take centre stage at a special cinema event this Thursday.

I, Superbiker IV: The War For Four opens in Cineworld and Showcase cinemas across the UK this week and follows the lead riders through one of the most exciting finals in the history of the British Superbike Championship.

Racing over 12 rounds, with the electrifying showdown format, the title could be decided in the last race of the year at Brands Hatch.

Viewers are kept enthralled as title holder and three-times champion Shane “Shakey” Byrne staked his claim to become the all-time most winning racer in the history of the championship, but young pretender Alex Lowes was the man blocking his path.

Carnaby International’s fourth annual cinema event comes to our area on Thursday (8pm) with Teesside Park’s Showcase the venue.

Boss of Milwaukee Yamaha, Shaun Muir, will be present along with BSV TV’s Larry Carter who will compere the evening.

Members of the team will also bring along some of their BSB bikes for fans to see.

Film director Mark Sloper said: “The atmosphere at Brands in the dangerous, wet conditions was electric.

“If I could have written the perfect season for thrills and spills this would have been it word for word, frame for frame, second for bone-crunching split second.”
