James Hillier has unveiled his Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade machinery for the RST Superbike, RL360 Superstock, and Milwaukee Senior TT Races, riding under the new banner of WTF Racing for 2024.
Owned and operated by Alan Gardner and Paul Curran, WTF Racing will support James Hillier in the Isle of Man TT Races, North West 200, and Dakar rally. Hillier, a 14-time podium finisher and former lightweight race winner, had a successful year in 2023, achieving his fastest ever lap and becoming the fastest Yamaha rider. Despite this, Hillier and the team have decided to switch to Honda power in the 1000cc races, confident that the move will result in even faster laps and podium finishes. Hillier is excited about the challenge and believes the Honda Fireblade’s performance and all-round package will give him an edge. He is particularly looking forward to not struggling with top speed, a disadvantage he faced last year. The team plans to run a Superstock-spec bike with a higher tuned engine in all races.
