Back to back BSB runners up Crescent Suzuki have announced that they will participate in the 2012 FIM Superbike World Championship.
The Verwood, Dorset based team who took John Reynolds to his 2004 BSB Championship title instantly proved their competiveness in the World series earlier in the year at Silverstone with John Hopkins achieving pole position and strong race results.
No rider or sponsor details have been released.
Meanwhile Hopkins has had another setback after being forced to withdraw from the Malaysian Grand Prix following further complications with his finger injury sustained at the Czech Republic Grand Prix.
