BMW Motorrad UK has restructured its motorsports line-up for the 2025 Bennetts British Superbike Championship, and FHO Racing BMW are delighted to welcome 2024 IDM Superbike champion Ilya Mikhalchik to the team.
For the 2025 season, FHO Racing will compete in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship with a one-rider team on board an M 1000 RR. 2024 IDM Superbike champion and World Endurance rider Ilya Mikhalchik makes his debut in the series, as team owner Faye Ho realigns the team’s efforts to pursue further motorsports activities in new markets with BMW Motorrad Motorsport’s support.
Faye Ho, now in her fifth-year in the Bennetts British Superbike paddock, has provided a strong presence in the Superbike class, and alongside the superbike team offers continued support and investment to a number of young women in the racing paddock seeking to progress their racing careers through numerous British Championship support classes. Most recently Kate Walker and Jamie Hanks-Elliott in the BMW F 900 R Cup.
Faye Ho comments: “I am a strong advocate of the British Superbike Championship, one of the most entertaining and competitive series in the world. However, with my long-term goals looking to push motorsports activities in Asia, as well as to keep supporting young women with opportunities in racing, I’ve come to realise I cannot fully commit to the previous levels of time that I have given to BSB and Road Racing since becoming team owner in 2021 with additional commitments I have back at home in Macau.
“With the support of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, and my continued passion for BSB, we have altered our approach to run a one-rider team for the 2025 season, with the very talented Ilya Mikhalchik joining us as current IDM Superbike champion and I am excited to see what he can achieve.”
