FHO Racing to return to North West 200 

Team has been absent since withdrawing mid-event in 2023

After a two-year absence, FHO Racing will return to the North West 200 in 2025.

Organisers of the meeting say race director Mervyn White agreed the deal with Faye Ho's team at the 2024 Macau Grand Prix last month.

Both Peter Hickman and Davey Todd will line up for the squad in the Superbike and Superstock categories during the NW200 race week from 5-10 May next year.

Commenting on the new agreement, Faye Ho says she's 'very much looking forward to coming back and putting on a good show for everyone.'

The team withdrew from the 2023 meeting after being prevented from racing in the opening superstock race that year.

This was due to the carbon wheels on the team's superstock machines being deemed ineligible under the rules of the sport's body, the Motorcycle Union of Ireland (Ulster Centre).

Whilst this meant rider Josh Brookes withdrew from the rest of the meeting, Hickman continued but in the Supersport class with his own PHR Performance brand with the consent of FHO Racing.

This year the team was also absent from the meeting due to what it described as 'the logistics and the event being between BSB rounds', adding the move would allow them to focus on BSB commitments and the Isle of Man TT Races.

Meanwhile, Mr White adds: "Both Davey and Peter are leading contenders on the roads and tracks and the FHO Racing BMWs have a well-established pedigree of success so this is very exciting news for North West 200 fans."

Both Hickman and Todd were separately involved in this year's North West 200.

Hickman took two victories in the Supertwin class on the Swan Racing Yamaha as well as two second-placed finishes across the Superstock and Supersport categories on his own PHR Performance machinery.

Elsewhere, Todd managed two wins in the Superstock class on the Milwaukee BMW; A victory in the Supersport class on the Powertoolmate Ducati and second-places in all three Superbike races.
