MasterMac Honda will make a full time return to the Pirelli National Superstock series in 2025, with young prospect Dan Brooks on board the Mallory Park-based team’s Honda Fireblade.

Brooks, who hails from Rochester in Kent, has been rewarded with a permanent ride after making a number of appearances for the team in 2024. He makes the switch after two seasons competing in the FIM JuniorGP World Championship, which followed a 2022 campaign in which he sealed an impressive third place overall in the Pirelli National Junior Superstock championship.

The 22-year-old said:

"I’m delighted to be stepping up in class again and very grateful to MasterMac Honda, and everyone who supports me, for the opportunity. The experience I gained on the Fireblade last season was really valuable and now I’m just excited to get back on track and show what I can do over the course of a full season.”

Team manager Steve Hicken said:

“We have a longstanding commitment to bringing young riders through and we’re pleased to be back in the series with Dan on board. He’s a very talented rider who’s shown he can compete at the front in the junior series and we now look forward to racing with him in the Pirelli National Superstock, which is always a brilliant championship to be involved with.”

The series begins at Oulton Park in Cheshire from 3-5 May.
