8TEN Racing are one of the newest teams on the ZYN British Superbike Championship grid, working with BMW Motorrad UK to receive full BMW Motorrad Motorsport support through riders Peter Hickman and Davey Todd.

8TEN Racing, named after the Isle of Man TT start numbers of Davey and Peter respectively, compete across the ZYN British Superbike Championship, North West 200, and Isle of Man TT races. The restructure by BMW Motorrad UK in 2025 provided the opportunity for a new team to be formed, with an innovative setup where the team is co-owned by the riders.

Rider and co-owner Hickman commented at the launch: “The opportunity provided by BMW Motorrad UK to co-own and run 8TEN Racing alongside Davey is an exciting concept, and having run my own team across other classes, the insight and experience I have gained over the last few years should put us in good stead to be competitive. We know the M 1000 RR very well which will allow some continuity, we’ll be looking to continue our success on the roads, and relish the challenge of being competitive in the British Superbike Championship.” 

Hickman continues working with Crew Chief Darren Jones, who have been together since 2009. Darren has held the role of Crew Chief and Team Manager throughout all Hickman’s previous TT achievements, and has extensive knowledge of the BMW M 1000 RR.

After sharing multiple successes together in 2024, Todd will be working with Crew Chief Stewart Johnstone once again, after Stuart helped Todd achieve the National Superstock Championship title as well as multiple victories at the Isle of Man TT.

Todd added when the team launched: “I’m really looking forward to this new chapter of my career, riding and co-owning 8TEN Racing. This structure will be a new dynamic to learn, but I’ve seen it work across other motorcycle championships like Supercross. I’m excited to be more involved in the dealings of the team, as well as build on the success I had with BMW last year which ended with a National title and TT victories.”

The team had a tough debut campaign in 2025, with Hickman also getting injured and subsequently sidelined from some rounds before making his comeback in BSB towards the end of the season. Hickman and Todd return in 2026, but after a crash at the Daytona 200, Todd is making a comeback from injury.
