Josh Brookes DAO Racing at the IoM TT 2026

The team focused their efforts on the British Superbike Championship in 2024 before switching to Honda machinery for 2025, with Josh Brookes and Lee Jackson joining the team. The move proved productive, with Brookes securing the team’s first Bennetts British Superbike Championship podium at Donington Park before delivering their maiden win later in the season at Oulton Park.

That continuity now extends to the roads, with Brookes contesting the TT on the same manufacturer, which gives both rider and team a strong platform as they return to the Mountain Course.

Brookes, who hails from Australia, is one of the most experienced international riders in the field and has firmly established himself as a front-runner at the TT. A double podium finisher, he took an excellent second place in the 2024 Senior TT and remains one of the fastest riders ever to lap the Mountain Course.

His outright personal best around the Mountain Course remains 134.056mph, set during that runner-up finish in the 2024 Senior TT, a speed that leaves him fifth on the list of fastest riders of all time. With a year of Honda TT experience already banked and an established relationship with DAO Racing behind him, Brookes will be aiming to build speed across practice and race week and put himself in contention at the sharp end once again.
