BENFLEET biker Mason Law admits he is speechless at having secured his first championship title, although admits the future is less than clear despite a superb season.

The 19-year-old crowned a remarkable year in the 2015 Pirelli National Superstock 600cc Championship on Sunday, as he took the title at Silverstone, posting his ninth podium of the season for the NMT No-Limits Kawasaki team.

He crossed the line in second place, despite only needing a top 13 spot to secure his maiden title in the penultimate round of racing.

And Law now has his sights set on securing a place in World Supersport, but says he still does not know where he will be racing next season.

“I got a good jump off the line but completely messed up my gear pattern into turn one,” said the man known as “the Outlaw”, having started the weekend in pole position. “There were so many bikes around me and I was thinking, ‘I can finish 13th to clinch this title’ but it wasn’t the way I wanted to finish it.

“I knew I could ride the bike well on used tyres in the latter part of the race and in the circumstances I think we did a good job on the bike. I think we could have won the race, but didn’t think taking a risk would be worth it, so we settled for a podium where I was able to showcase my sponsors.

“It will be nice to go to Brands without the pressure and just race.”

One thing Law is certain of is he won’t be taking part in the same championship next year, with the top three riders all moved on, and Law is hopeful of another shot at the worlds, having raced twice last year, in France and Dubai.

Law says securing funding for the new season will be a challenge, as corporate sponsors from abroad often earn spots at the elite level of racing.

“The way motorsport is means funding is often an issue,” he said. “It is often difficult to step up but my manager is talking to a few people and hopefully it will be sorted soon.

“You would think winning the championship means some people sit up and take notice so hopefully we will hear something.

“A lot of riders are taking spots because of money when there are a lot of other riders who can get there on ability.

“Your passport can be a factor as well as, if the bigger championships have a sponsor from a certain country they will want a rider from that country to be taking part. Some governments back riders as well but it is the way of the world. I have great sponsors and I wouldn’t be here without their help.”

Law thanked the NMT No-Limits team, Kawasaki, his dad and his mentor and friend Andrew Pitt.
