Moto Rapido Racing is a motorbike racing team, currently competing in the British Superbike Championship. For 2017, the team have signed American John Hopkins and 15 year old Thomas Strudwick.
The Moto Rapido Ducati team progressed to the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship in 2011 after a season in the National Superstock 1000 Championship with Scott Smart.
From then the team competed in many seasons with a Ducati Superstock 1000 including a maiden race win with Tristan Palmer. They also entered the British Superbike class and every race improved their bike and results.
In 2015 the team signed a deal with Lloyds British to compete in the Superbike class with Czech contender Jakub Smrž, but after several good results, Smrz had a crash at the Snetterton Circuit, meaning he would be out for a while. American John Hopkins took his place as a replacement rider and took the team to a record result at the final round of the 2015 season of 3rd place.
In 2016 the team signed young gun Danny Buchan but after a very successful start to the year in testing, unfortunately things didn't work during the start of the season. The team's replacement rider was Scotsman Stuart Easton, but he also dropped out the team, and Ducati test rider Alessandro Polita was the final rider of the season.
For 2017 the team have signed American John Hopkins to compete in the British Superbike class.
