2024 Autofest, Omagh, Sunday 15th September 2024 :
Autofest returned to Omagh for the 9th Edition of the extremely popular show on Sunday 15th September 2024.
This year’s event was run in support of Omagh Gateway Club.
With hundreds of cars on display at the Omagh Showgrounds, the selection and quality on display was exceptional. With every genre of vehicle catered for, including a small selection of motorcycles and trucks and to a massive display of cars covering all varieties and a good selection of Owner’s Clubs all displaying some meticulously turned out vehicles.
It is a show really worth a visit, that was certainly made all the more pleasant with the sunshine making a rare appearance for this year in Northern Ireland.
DAO Racing have announced that they are parting ways with Kawasaki after 10 years.
DAO Racing has announced that as of 2025, they will part ways with Kawasaki after a successful 10-year partnership. The decision comes following extensive negotiations that were unable to yield a mutual agreement for the upcoming season.
This strategic move marks the end of a successful collaboration between the two racing powerhouses, with DAO Racing now preparing for a fresh chapter in its racing journey.
DAO Racing and Team Green have enjoyed several successful seasons together and a shared passion for pushing the boundaries of motorsport excellence.
With numerous podiums and notable achievements, including a historic 2019 Senior TT win on the Isle of Man with Dean Harrison. The win marked Kawasaki’s first Senior TT victory in almost 40 years, a milestone previously held by Mick Grant.
However, after careful consideration, DAO Racing has chosen to explore new opportunities and partnerships as part of their 2025 strategy.
Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing and Racing Department for Kawasaki Motors UK said: “The DAO Racing team have been an important and successful part of the Kawasaki and Team Green family for a number of years, achieving some fantastic results along the way, including most notably a Senior TT win at the Isle of Man with Dean Harrison. It’s a shame to see them move away from the Kawasaki brand, but I would personally like to wish them all the best for their next steps.”
Jonny Bagnall, Team Manager commented: “After a partnership of ten years, during negotiations towards the end of the season, we couldn’t come to a mutual agreement heading into 2025 that fit both parties, so unfortunately, we will be parting ways and starting a new venture for 2025 BSB.
“We’ve had some brilliant times with Kawasaki and want to thank them for their support. From originally supplying us with ZX6s in our first year in National Superstock, right on through to our Senior TT win, the first win Kawasaki gained in almost 40 years, and then being a fully-fledged BSB team, it’s been an incredible journey. They’ll be missed, and I’d like to thank all the guys and girls at Kawasaki for their support over the years.”
