Scott Smart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Smart is a British motorcycle racer and sometime TV commentator for Channel 4, born May 29, 1975. He is a nephew of the great Barry Sheene. He was 1997 British 250cc champion, having previously finished as series runner-up, before making a move up to the 500cc World Championship the next year. He was not successful here, and after some 250cc races a year later he spent several years in British Supersport, finishing as runner-up in 2002.
He did his first full season in British Superbike in 2003 for Hawk Kawasaki, finishing 9th overall, with a string of top 10 finishes as well as twice qualifying on the front row [1]. He then took 3 wins to finish 4th in 2004 [2]. This earned him a prestigious ride with Rizla Suzuki alongside reigning champion John Reynolds for 2005, but he struggled on the bike and left the team mid-season, joining the small Vivaldi racing team, but missing some races with a broken collarbone. He started 2006 with a bang, winning a chaotic wet round 3 at Donington Park, but has not been among the front-runners in the dry on his semi-works Suzuki. Late in the season he sustained a broken wrist, and did a technical piece about engine specifications whilst still in plaster. Confusingly, this was broadcast hours after he had raced in the BSB season finale, finishing 6th in race one.
