The FHO Racing team is delighted to remain as BMW Motorrad’s officially supported team at the Isle of Man TT Races, and in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship for a second season.
Team Principal Faye Ho’s outfit enters its fourth year of racing and for such a young team to receive official status is a testament to Faye’s passion for the sport; the FHO Racing team’s work ethic and approach, as well as the results they have already celebrated with the BMW M 1000 RR.
At the TT Races Peter Hickman remains a firm favourite after smashing the outright lap record at last year’s event with the BMW M 1000 RR Superstock machine, as well as a stunning Senior TT victory. FHO Racing BMW Motorrad’s achievements at the TT are already impressive with a Superbike, three Superstock and two Senior TT victories to its name.
In the British Championship, alongside road racing ace ‘Hicky’ is former two-time BSB Champion Josh Brookes, who last year, although a mixed season results wise, stood on the podium eight times, and celebrated two wins. Josh also returned to the roads and after five years away from the TT impressed with strong results, including fifth in the Senior TT as well as joining 132mph club.
The FHO Racing BMW Motorrad team also took its first-ever Championship win last season, with Richard Cooper dominating the inaugural ABK Beer 0% BMW F 900 R Cup. This year in the F900 R Cup, Jamie Hanks-Elliott moves up from Junior Supersport joining Kate Walker in the class.
Faye Ho, Team Principal FHO Racing BMW Motorrad: “I’m so delighted that FHO Racing remains as the official BMW Motorrad team at the TT Races, as well as in the British Championship. We’re still a relatively young team, so to have factory status already, it’s just a dream come true, and I can’t thank BMW Motorrad enough, my team and my riders – it’s just fantastic. It’s great to see all the hard work and determination receiving recognition. FHO Racing has certainly turned heads and made an impression in the sport, not only with myself as a female team owner, but our presence, branding and our results on the Roads, and I can’t wait to take FHO Racing further”.
Uwe Geyer, Head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport Marketing and Customer Racing commented on the continued partnership: “We are proud of our strong partnership with Faye Ho and the FHO Racing BMW Motorrad team and delighted to continue this successful collaboration. We already celebrated a lot of successes together in BSB and road racing, with Peter Hickman’s wins at the Isle of Man TT and at Macau, just being some highlights. FHO Racing BMW Motorrad is an important partner for us to emphasise our product performance in the UK and on the international scene.
As BMW Motorrad Motorsport, we strive to provide the team with the best basis package for their championship, and this also includes rapid technical adaptions that are required for 2024. For example, we need to use production camshafts in the BSB Superbike engines from this year on. One key of success is that theFHO Racing BMW Motorrad team directly benefits from the work of our engineers in our WorldSBK Teams and the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Test Team with the BMW M 1000 RR. The frame, swingarm and fuel tank have been developed in WorldSBK and can now be used byFHO Racing BMW Motorrad in BSB. This way, we form a bridge between the Superbike World Championship and the highly competitive BSB and provide our BMW teams with a package that offers them a solid basis to be successful. We are looking forward to a successful season together with the FHO Racing BMW Motorrad team and riders Peter Hickman and Josh Brookes.”
