The Armed Forces race team uses EBC Brakes Racing components
True Heroes Racing is a motorcycle racing outfit supporting riders in various race series across the UK.
Priding itself on being the UK’s first and only not-for-profit motorcycle race team dedicated to supporting wounded, injured and sick UK Armed Forces personnel and veterans, the team helps to engage, empower and inspire.
All riders are currently using EBC Brakes Racing’s GPFAX race pads and XC floating discs, and you can read a season round-up in the team’s own words below…
“As the 2025 season draws to a close, we’re proud to share a look back at what has been a transformative and inspiring year for True Heroes Racing — a season filled with growth and gratitude.
“We began the 2025 season with a bold and symbolic shift — moving away from Ducati machinery after a decade-long partnership and stepping into a new era with Honda. This transition wasn’t just about changing bikes; it was about embracing a fresh challenge and continuing to evolve as a team.
“At the same time, our presence in the ROKiT OFF BMW F900R Cup also evolved with Leon Wilton, who had previously represented us on the Ducati platform, took on a new challenge with a totally different type of machine. We were proud to welcome Corporal Kenny Macleod to the team — an active RAF serviceman and passionate racer — who joined us through our ongoing collaboration with military motorsport associations. His arrival not only strengthened our rider lineup but also reinforced our mission to provide meaningful opportunities for our beneficiaries.”
“Unfortunately, early in the season, we experienced a change of rider in our Superstock line-up. While this could have left us without a rider at a critical point in the year, the strength and depth of our team — both past and present — quickly came to the fore.
“Rather than scrambling for external replacements, two of our former riders stepped up without hesitation. Dave “Salty” Sellers and Dave ‘Scrawn’ Mackay, both of whom had previously raced for us on the Ducati and Suzuki platforms, returned to the fold as wildcards. Their willingness to jump back in and represent the team not only ensured we remained competitive but also demonstrated the enduring loyalty and camaraderie that defines True Heroes Racing.”
“Later in the year, when both Daves were unavailable, we welcomed Paul Cunvin, a Royal Airforce veteran, who took on the Honda ride. Initially joining us to get a feel for the team environment, Paul quickly proved himself a capable and committed addition, stepping into the role with confidence and professionalism.
“Looking ahead to the 2026 season, True Heroes Racing is proud to continue growing as more people reach out for support and opportunities to be part of our mission. The team has confirmed its rider line-up for the season, and it reflects both continuity and exciting new chapters.”
“In the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship, we’ll see Charlie White return to the grid, now joined by Paul Cunvin, a Royal Airforce veteran who made his debut with us in 2025.
“In the ROKiT OFF BMW F900R Cup, both Leon Wilton and Cpl Kenny Macleod will return to the grid, bringing consistency, experience and a shared commitment to pushing themselves and the team forward.
“But perhaps the most powerful story of the season will be that of Chris, our inaugural Grassroots Pathway rider and a veteran of the Parachute Regiment. After competing in the Clubman 600 and Phoenix Open classes, Chris is now stepping up to the British Superbike Championship grid in the ROKiT OFF BMW F900R Cup — a remarkable achievement in itself.”
