I'm still fully committed to my work at GSE Plant and the Healey's. However, I'm confident over the next few years we can build Idaq Motorsport into another GSE Racing."Team Principal Mark Roebuck - "When I approached Colin a few weeks ago the intention was to just have a meeting and learn as much as possible from the most successful team manager in the history of British Superbikes. It soon became apparent to me that Colin's love for the sport and winning was still there and a deal could possibly be done for Colin to return to the paddock with Idaq. Now that deal has been done the future is looking very exciting. I know that Colin can turn Idaq Motorsport into a team that is capable of winning championships at any level and will definitely bring something extra to the British Superbike paddock."
