Mackenzie will get🌳 to ride a WorldSBK-Spec R1 for the first time as his hopes of becoming a full-time World Championship rider in 2023 begin. 

The McAM꧂S Yamaha rider recently made his return tಌo competitive action, following an accident in January that left him with a broken leg.

A ten-time BSB race winner during his 2021 ℱchampionship winning season, Mackenzie will also wildcard at Donington Park in July.

Speaking about the news, Mackenzie added: "I am very excited to make my debut in the WorldSBK championship at Assen and it will be quite special ♍to do it with my McAMS Yamaha team as I've been with them for the last five years and together, we have come a long way.” 

"Obviously there is a l𝄹ot for me to learn with the engine and electronics, but I know the chassis well as my BSB bike is very similar.

"Assen is a circuit I love riding, the first time I rode a superbike ther🅷e in 2018 I finished on the pཧodium. 

"The level in World Championship is really high and I'm looking forward to getting out on track 🦩and giving it our all. 

"I have to say a huge thanks to Ste🐠ve and the McAMS Yamaha team, as well as Andrea and everyone at Yamaha Racing for making this possible."

Mackenzie won’t be alone in making his WorldSBK debut, as the second round of the season will mark McAMS’ world championship debut.&n💯bsp;

It’s also been c♛onfirmed that the well-established Yamaha outfit will have full support from the current world champions Pata Yamaha.

Andrea D🍌osoli, Yamaha Motor Europe Road Racing Manager, said: "We have enjoyed a long and fruitful working relationship with the McAMS team and their two riders, with a real two-way collaboration bringing benefits for all.”

"We are delighted to see Tarran and McAMS step up onto the world stage in Assen, as this fits perfectly with Yamaha’s raci🅘ng philosophy of offering opportunities to the best riders and teams wor🥀ldwide."

Although it’s a first venture into WorldSBK for the McAMS Yamaha team in its current form, Raceways Motorcycles had several wildcarไd showings in the World Supersport Championship between 2000-2010.

"We are looking forward to taking the McA▨𒊎MS Yamaha team to the world stage in our first Superbike wildcard appearance at Assen later this month," said McAMS Yamaha Team Principal, Steve Rodgers.

"Raceways have supported Tarran since his very early days of racing and we’ve seen him rise through the ranks, to the point where he wไon us the British Superbike Championship in 2021. 

"His 𒊎dream is to continue his progression, so we are delighted to be able to give him the opportunity to make his World Superbike debut."

With Mackenzie’s 'dream' of competing in WorldSBK now official, here’s what the Scottish-born rider had to say when talking to wuqian0821.com last December: "WorldSBK is the target. I’m only 26; there are some who are younger who are rac🔥ing there already, but there’s also older guys that race in Superbikes, so I feel there’s still time yet and I want to first come back and prove a point next season by winning the BSB title with number one plate. 

"But I also wan𓃲t to push on and try to move the goal post out a little bit more in WorldSBK. My hope and aim is to be t🦂here in 2023."

With Yamaha winning all four major championships in 2021, it means WorldSBK will have the unusual scenario of both its world champion Toprak Raz𝐆gatlioglu and British champion Mackenzie competing in the same series, while also representing the same manufacturer. 

The 2022 British Superbike championship ge⛄🌼ts underway on April 15-17.
