The beautiful 2012 MV Agusta F3

World Performance Racing represents a passion for motorcycle racing and the desire to bring MV Agusta, the iconic motorcycle brand with a unique heritage, to the celebrated Isle of Man TT races in 2012.

WPR are a family run business based in Chesterfield who, in association with Chorley-based Moto GB, will be taking the MV Agusta F3 & F4 to compete at the TT next year, marking the 40th anniversary of the last appearance of a factory supported MV Agusta race team.

This highly contested event has previously provided MV Agusta with huge success and promoted both Giacomo Agostini and later Mike Hailwood, to legendary status.

WPR aim to restore MV Agusta back to winning ways and ensuring that the 2012 TT will be…….

‘where history ends and news begins’.
