Scott, from Holland on Sea, Essex, was the 2011 Bemsee Rookie 600 Champion, setting a new record by winning 17 races in a row and also winning every race that he competed in.

As 2011 MRO Super 6 Clubman Champion and AMC Champion of Brands he was awarded the Sir Ben Ball Trophy. Ben was also the first ever Rookie to win the Mellano Trophy which is awarded to the “Champion of Champions”.

Commenting, Ross Burridge the Racing Coordinator for Kawasaki Motors UK, was keen to welcome Scott to the Kawasaki fold and the Ninja ZX-6R.

“There could have been little more that Scott needed to do in order to bring himself to the attention of a major team.

With their recognised ability of nurturing young talent, we are sure the combination of Gearlink Kawasaki and Scott Hudson will be extremely impressive”.
