True Heroes Racing
From the very first moment True Heroes Racing took to the track they have inspired and immense support has grown for the team and their achievements . Their innovative and unique use of two wheeled motorsport has returned likeminded WIS Service personnel and Veterans to a fast , frenetic and pressurised environment . The camaraderie and sense of humour amongst the team is identical to that found amongst serving military units and this is a key feature of what True Heroes Racing is about .
Due to the support and exposure competing at the British Superbike Championships has brought , True Heroes Racing has been able to expand year-after-year and is now the professional organisation seen and followed by thousands across the UK and beyond .
The team ’ s unique and sustained approach has led to interest from across the world to form links , inspire and learn lessons . It ’ s certainly not the injuries of its members that is holding them back , it ’ s the age old issue of the need for increased and sustained financial backing to fund continued expansion .
For 2018 , True Heroes Racing are again fielding their distinctive orange and black camouflage liveried Ducati race bikes in the Ducati TriOptions Cup , but have also formed a new part of the team to learn and develop skills racing on three wheels . The possibilities offered for disability use by racing a sidecar outfit are almost limitless , but this is a whole new world for the team to grow into with different challenges and skill sets to be developed , alongside continued racing of their solo bikes .
True Heroes Racing has aspirations to take the direct involvement in competitive motorcycle racing by WIS UK Service personnel and Veterans to the very top within the UK . The hope is , one day soon , to be able to field a professional full premier Superbike Class team , competing against established , high profile riders and factory backed teams .
At this level True Heroes Racing would move from the voluntary organisation that it is now , to an organisation that would be able to offer paid employment for WIS Service personnel in new careers outside of the military . There ’ s no reason why WIS UK Service personnel can ’ t perform all of the roles required for a successful motorsport team to operate . In fact True Heroes Racing have already proven that the attitude and ethos of UK Military personnel knits perfectly with the needs of a successful race team .
