A huge thank you to Steve Tingey for sponsoring Round 1 of HSO Racing Team’s BMW F900 campaign at Donington Park through our “Tread Together” sponsorship programme.

Steve got involved with Tread Together and in return, had his very own custom sticker proudly displayed on both the seat cowl and James’ chin bar throughout the weekend.

~ The design was inspired by Steve’s favourite colour, blue and his pride and joy, Gizmo, whose photo featured in the logo itself 🐶

It was fantastic to carry something so personal onto the circuit and showcase it at one of the UK’s most iconic racing venues.

Thank you once again Steve, Laura and Gizmo 🩵

~ Next up, we head north to Knockhill, with our next sponsored round announcement coming very soon.

There are still 7 rounds remaining after Knockhill this season, so if you’d like to get involved and become a Round Sponsor through Tread Together, we’d love to hear from you.

Packages start from as little as £450 and include full creative freedom. Whether you already have a logo or need help bringing your ideas to life, our in-house graphic design team at HSO Agency can work with you to create the perfect look for your sponsored round.

Get in touch today and put your brand, business, passion, pet or personal story on the bike for a race weekend to remember!

With Knockhill on the horizon, Team HSO are hard at work preparing to fight for podium finishes at the iconic Scottish circuit, a venue where James has enjoyed proven success in the past and consistently shown strong pace!

The coming weeks will see valuable testing take place, allowing the team to maximise time away from the competitive action to continue refining ahead of race weekend.

In the meantime, our marketing team are hard at work behind the scenes, crafting new content to bring all of you guys closer to the journey and build excitement as we edge ever closer to lights out once again!

A rather special display at - the stunning BMW F900, ridden by Thomas Strudwick at Donington Park with Team HSO, now proudly showcased in the Brighton based dealership.

If you’re passing by, do pop in and take a look, it’s looking absolutely immaculate, every bit as striking as it is beautiful. We think it’s personally down to impeccable stickering skills! 🤣

We are delighted to be welcoming Thomas back for Snetterton and looking forward to what’s ahead. In the meantime, it’s onward to Scotland.

A weekend of strong pace, brake fade battles, changing weather and solid championship points to kick the season off!

From being on the pace in FP on old scrubs, to chaotic last-minute tyre changes before the race, Donington definitely kept us on our toes.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported us over the weekend, especially and Tag Honda for stepping in during the madness!

James Ellison and Thomas Strudwick gave it everything aboard the BMW F900s, coming away with P5 and P6 in the championship standings and plenty to build on heading to Knockhill.

A huge shoutout to Ryan Kirk for absolutely smashing it with these fabulous shots on track for Team HSO, with James rocking the John Hanlon Donington “Special” helmet! The John Hanlon helmet was very striking on track and you’ve done an amazing job bringing those moments to life through the lens, the shots are class! 🔥

A massive thank you goes out of course to John Hanlon, Adam and Steve for their incredible support. The design looked very striking out on track, a big shoutout to Del from Sublime for bringing the vision to life! 👏🏼

A solid finish to the weekend at Donington Park sees us leave sitting sixth in the championship standings.

It was a challenging lead-up to the race, with ever-changing weather conditions making for a tricky few minutes before the start and ultimately resulting in a shortened race. Despite the difficult circumstances, the team adapted quickly and worked hard to make the most of the conditions.

A big shout out to the TAG Racing team for all their help during the wet race change, your support and quick work in difficult conditions was hugely appreciated, we can’t thank you guys enough!

Thank you to everybody involved throughout the weekend for the continued effort and commitment. We leave Donington with important points on the board and now focus on building momentum into the next round!
