DAO Racing Part Ways with Kawasaki

DAO Racing Part Ways with Kawasaki :

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.”

** Updated for the 2026 Event **


History :

Armoy (from the Irish: Oirthear Maí meaning “the east plain”) is a small village in County Antrim Northern Ireland. It is 6 miles from Ballycastle and 9 miles from Ballymoney and nestles under the shadow of Knocklayd mountain. It is on the River Bush and lies within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council area. The village is situated between two of the nine Glens of Antrim, Glenshesk and Glentaisie. Glenshesk is part of the Armoy Race Circuit.

The full story of the Armoy Armada can be found on the Official AMRRC Website :

“Road racing and the Armoy Armada was a regular topic of conversation in the Armoy pub and it was on one such night in what started off as a bit of craic and a £20 bet, that Kathleen Hartin was sparked into the idea of a tribute race to the Legends of Road Racing.

…All the affiliations, constitutions, rules, agencies, roads departments and councils eventually succumbed to the objectives of the club and when finance was secured through local sponsorship and funding, the first ever Armoy Road Race – Race of Legends was run in July 2009.”
