Diablo 666 racing team have been established as a full permanent World championship team since 2004. The team entered its first full year in 2004 as Diablo 666 Bolliger, with the new Kawasaki ZX10s. The team finished in the top 10 in every round in 2004. With further development of the bike, 2005 was an incredible experience with two podium finishes, ending with a 5th place in the championship. This form continued in 2006 with the signing of young gun Australian Alex Cudlin, Estonian Marko Rothlaan, alongside team regular, James Hutchins. With a string of mechanical failures, the team bounced back to finish an in an incredible 7th position in the World Endurance Championship and saw Alex winning the World Endurance "Rookie Of The Year Award". In 2007 Alex and James again teamed up with the ever successful Kawasaki Diablo 666 race team, with new recruit Frenchman Olivier Ulmann. With bad luck plagueing there year they finished 13th outright. Something Alex and the Diablo 666 crew didnt want. 2008 has begun with new signings and a highly motivated team. Agian Alex and James will be the regular Diablo 666 Kawasaki riders with entrys during the year from Belgium rider Michael Weynand and British rider Gary Mason for the third spot in the team. Michael will compete in the Hard fought Lemans 24 hour, Albecete 6 hour, Oschersleben 8 hour, BolDor 24 hour, While Gary will compete in the twisty technical Suzuka 8 hour and Qatar 6 hour. Kawasaki Diablo 666 are among the favorites for the 2008 title and are a real hot prospect for 2008 with the outright speed of all 4 riders. If mechanical problems stop, Diablo will be a huge threat for any team. Stay tuned to see how our year progresses. THE BIKE - Kawasaki ZX10 - Engine – Four stroke- DOHC- Inline Four- 16V
