Dan Brooks 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.

Dan began his racing career in 2017 in the KTM RC Cup on a 390cc road bike, where he gained a vast amount of experience in order to progress into the competitive British Hel Performance Moto 3 Championship in 2018, where he was battling in the top 5 in the last few rounds. 

A late decision to move into the Pirelli National Junior Superstock championship in 2019 saw Dan get a taste of a bike with a lot more power. He continued in this class throughout 2020, achieving a best result of 2nd Place and getting a lap record at Silverstone. Dan also competed and won the ACU National Endurance Championship during this season, winning 3 out of 4 rounds. He continued to strive in this championship, achieving a top 10 finish in 2021 and achieving a 3rd overall championship position in 2022.

In 2023, Dan was successful in competing in the European 600 class, finishing the season 12th in the Championship and was the top British rider. Dan continued in this class during 2024 until the Hawk Racing team offered an opportunity to ride their superstock bike at various race events, ending the year in the Pirelli National Superstock Championship at the British Superbike Series finale at Brands Hatch.

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.”
