World Endurance Champion Vincent Philippe and World Superbike and Supersport rider Vittorio Iannuzzo will be teamed together to race the 2014 German IDM Superbike Championship.

The Frenchman and Italian will pilot the HPC Power Suzuki Racing Team’s GSX-R1000s in the series that kicks off at the beginning of next month at Lausitzring.

"Although most of the tracks are unknown to Vittorio and Vincent, we expect strong results inside the top five," says HPC race engineer Andreas Köder.

In Supersport, 2012 Champion Tatu Lauslehto will race the Team Suzuki Mayer GSX-R600 and Nina Prinz, although focussed on the Qatar Superbike Championship, will race selected Superbike rounds on her HPC Power Suzuki Team GSX-R1000.
