Derek Mc Kelvie King, who finished second in the 1999 AMA 250cc GP series but struggled in 2000 with GP Tech, has formed his own team, Formula 2 Motorsports. King purchased a TSR Honda chassis from England’s Paul Bird Racing, as well as purchasing the complete 007 ridden by Kurtis Roberts in 1998.

King is also competing in the Formula USA Aprilia Cup Challenge Series on an Aprilia RS250.

King’s sponsors include Champion Honda and a company owned by his father, Pro-Pac.
