Lee Hardy Racing made their debut in 2014, scoring their first race win at Cadwell Park in 2014 with Peter Hickman and since then have continued to go from strength to strength. In 2018 the team celebrated their strongest season to date with young gun Jake Dixon finishing runner-up in the title battle.

21-year-old Vickers from Thetford lifted the Superstock 600 title; having dominated the season before he moved into the premier class with the team. The move comes for the talented youngster following the departure of Jake Dixon from the team to the Moto2 World Championship.

2021 was the fifth year of the association between Lee Hardy Racing and Kawasaki, as Vickers returned with the squad and Lewis Rollo lines up for them in the Pirelli National Superstock series.

For the 2022 season, former champion Leon Haslam will make his return to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, signing a new deal with Lee Hardy Racing to reunite with Kawasaki and bid for a second crown.

Haslam now joins the team that pushed him hardest for the title four years ago, when Jake Dixon finished as runner-up. The former rivals join forces now though, launching a combined bid to take Kawasaki back to the top of Britain’s biggest motorsport championship with sponsorship from VisionTrack.
