UK Military Veterans to Race Honda Machines in National Superstock Series
Two UK Military Veterans are set to race for the same team in the National Superstock Championship this season
True Heroes Racing will field two UK Military Veterans for the 2025 National Superstock Championship, as well as changing from Ducati to Honda machinery.
The decision to swap Ducati in favour of the CBR1000RR-R brings an end to a ten-year partnership with Ducati for the team.
The True Heroes Racing squad was created to support wounded, injured and sick UK armed forces members as well as Military Veterans. Scott McFarlane and Charlie White are the Veterans that will be riding the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade in the Superstock class, while the team will again be present in the BMW F 900 R Cup.
The True Heroes Racing team will continue to rely on support from TAG Racing and its current motorcycle sponsor, Laguna Motorcycles, this season.
True Heroes Racing Founder and Team Principle Phil Spencer said: "Our journey with the iconic Ducati brand came to a premature end after a change in Laguna's commercial plans.
"This provided True Heroes Racing and all our beneficiaries with a fresh, new challenge and marks our return to the ultra-competitive Pirelli National Superstock class. It's also great to be re-invigorating our relationship with Rob Winfield and his TAG Racing outfit.
"Rob was instrumental back in 2012 when I first formed True Heroes Racing, playing a huge part in enabling us to put our first bike on the track for a disabled rider. In fact, our first ever track day at Snetterton was run in TAG Racing colours, using a donated set of #41 Shaun Winfield’s Triumph fairings.
“With the support we’ve received from all our sponsors, new and old, and the technical support we have already received from TAG Racing; we have put Scott, Charlie and the whole team on the very best footing to achieve our goals for this year and we can't thank TAG Racing and all our sponsors enough for that.”
