POLARIS GOES RACING
Establishes Polaris Factory Racing Team
Polaris has joined in with the growing popularity of quad racing with the Polaris Factory Racing Team.
For 2015, Polaris has established new relationships with some key affinity partners including Evans Cooling, ITP Wheels and Tyres, Fox Racing Shocks, DP Brakes, Fasst flex bars and Teixeira.

There is a team of six experienced quad riders all keen to put the machines to the test. Assisting the team is Shane Watson, from Dirt Warz, who brings a wealth of experience and professionalism to the Team's race logistics and activities.
The company has also teamed up with one of the best enduro promoters in the United Kingdom, WOR Events. The partnership has created the Polaris National Hare Scrambler Series, an eight-round National series on some of the toughest cross country enduro tracks in the country.
The Polaris WOR Series is sure to be a great proving ground for the Polaris Scrambler vehicle in 2015 and the first race at Baden Hall in Staffordshire certainly lived up to expectations with podium finishes for the team. The Scrambler 1000 also made its mark in the challenging DQR (Dragon Quad Racing) event at Stourport-on-Severn taking more podium places.
Team Principal and Polaris Britain employee, Richard Coleby is particularly excited about this season.
"I'm new to quad racing but I'm already passionate about it and the potential in the UK," he says, "and I really want to see Utility racing grow with manufacturer involvement. There are a number of races series for 2015 and Polaris will be competing in a wide selection including WOR, DQR and the QRA Beach Cross Championships. It will be great to see progress with the machines leading up to the grand finale with Weston Beach Race at Weston-super-Mare in October."
