Hawk Racing is a motorcycle racing team headquartered in Leicestershire, UK. Founded by Stuart Hicken in 1996,^[1] the team is currently headed by Steve Hicken, Stuart's son. The team currently primarily races modified Honda Fireblade superbikes.^[2]

Road Racing

[edit ]

Hawk Racing works closely with Michael Dunlop, a champion Superbike racer from Northern Ireland.^[3] Riding a Hawk Racing-modified Honda, Dunlop won the RST Superbike TT event in 2023.^[4] The relationship between the Hicken family and the Dunlop family goes back several years to when Stuart and Hawk first became associated with Michael's family of racing champions.^[5]

British Championships

[edit ]

Besides collaborating with Dunlop during the Isle of Man TT, Hawk Racing backs two racers, John McPhee and Charlie Nesbitt, who compete on the Bennetts British Superbike Championship and EU Superbike circuit under the Hawk Racing banner.^[6]

In October 2024, Hawk Racing announced that MasterMac Surfacing would be sponsoring the team for the third consecutive year on the British Superbike circuit.^[7]
