BSB: FHO Racing Announce 2023 Rider Lineup

The FHO Racing Teams 2023 lineup has been revealed. It starts out as expected with Peter Hickman returning to the team. However, for next year he will be joined by two-time BSB Champion, Josh Brookes.

Hickman will be entering his third year with the team and has been an important part of the squad. The 35-year-old has picked up race wins and podiums for the team in his previous two years in BSB.

Alongside Hickman will be the Australian and two-time Champion, Brookes. The 39-year-old is the most successful rider on the current BSB grid, with title wins in 2015 and 2020. As he aims for his third British title Brookes has switched from Paul Bird Motorsport to FHO Racing.

With 54 race wins and 149 podiums in the British Superbike class Brookes’ wealth of experience will aid the team.

Hickman said: “I’m delighted to be able to say I’m staying with FHO Racing for a third season. This year has been a bit tough at times but we have found form towards the end of the year and hopefully we can carry that into next year.

“It’s always vital for me that I’m with a team I know well and can trust and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere other than back here with the FHO family. I believe there is a lot more we can achieve together and the BSB title is definitely something I still have my eye on.

“Naturally, I’m very grateful to Faye for her continued support and I’m confident that next year we can build on our success so far and grow the team’s silverware collection as we go.”

Brookes said: “I’m really excited about joining the FHO Racing team for 2023 and now the news is out there, I can finally start looking ahead to next season with genuine excitement.

“Each year in BSB my target has been to race for wins and improve and I know the FHO Racing team offers me the best opportunity to do that. Faye and Peter have already demonstrated the potential of the team and I feel that’s only going to grow further next season.

“I would like to thank Faye for giving me this opportunity. I can head into the off-season knowing that I’m set for a really positive 2023. The ingredients are all there to go fast and win races and this is what motivates me to keep racing.”
