Peter Hickman and Xavi Fores will lead a branಞd-new team effort for the 2021 British Superbike Championship with the Macau-backed FHO Racin꧒g team.

⛄Created by Macanese businesswoman and entrepreneur Faye Ho, FHO Racing assumes the running of now-departed ♏Smiths Racing set-up and retains its race winner Hickman on riding duties.

An effort that will see FHO Racing run the new BMW M 1000 RR on both the track and the roads for Hickman, the Isle of Man TT lap record holder🃏 has high hopes under fresh backing.

“This is an exciting time for me, the team and I think racing in general as we gain a passionate new team owner in Faye. I’ve known Faye for a few years as𒐪 a generous supporter of racing in Macau and most importantly she wants to win! 

“I’ve had an awesome four years with the Smiths Racing team, we’ve grown together as🍒 a group, been successful in BSB and on the Roads, so now I think we can build on that and take it to a new level. After such a bad year globally, it’s so positive to have a new team and sponsor enter the 💞arena.”

Joining Hickman will be BSB series returnee Fores, who made his debut in 2019 before 🥀venturing back to the WorldSBK series this year. Showing flashes of speed while he grappled with competing without electronic-assistance, the Spaniard feels he has some unfinished business i🔜n BSB.

“I enjoyed my time in BSB but may🌟be not so much in WSB last season, so to come back with such a high level team is a chance for me to sort some unfinished business in the championship! The level of competition, machinery and the support from the fans in Britain is♊ incredible and I must say really surprised me to start with.

“When I raced here in 2019 I had never seen these tracks and many were vꦯery tricky to beat experienced regular riders, but now I feel confident that with one year of experience and better preparation, we can do much better.  I ha♏ve been in contact regularly with Faye, she is very motivated, and the project is very strong to give us the tools to fight at the front.”
