It gives us tremendous pleasure to confirm that Oliver Barr is back with Binch Racing for the forthcoming season.

OB marked his arrival into the Bennetts British Superbike Championship paddock last year with some great rides and some superb results. We are absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to build on that. We hope consistency and familiarity will be the extra ingredients required to go even further in the Supersport championship.

Team Owner Dave Binch :

“Oliver ‘no pressure’ Barr – Rookie of the year in the 2024 British Supersport championship. Oh yes, we think so!

Oliver went to work in his maiden British Supersport season and he approached it in his own personal and unique style, we liked that a lot. Competing at this level for a full season was very different to what he was used to but adapted superbly well. There was a lot to learn and take on board but he stepped into the challenge and absorbed every piece of information we threw at him.

By maybe round four we could really see him getting comfortable with his surroundings and enjoying the atmosphere within the team. Once he fully settled in he was qualifying on the front row and converting these to top tens finishes. He far exceeded our expectations in his first year and that is why we are delighted to welcome him back. Some might say we have unfinished business..

We have been working really hard on the new bikes and we are really excited to see what OB can do on Ducati machinery. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible, we really do appreciate it.”

Oliver Barr #24 :

Last year was pretty crazy when I think about it. I had very little idea what to expect but I knew I had a great team around me, they made me feel very much at home on race weekends. I hadn’t raced at some of the tracks before so I needed to take my time and the team helped me to do that.

I got faster as the weekends unfolded and Sundays seemed to bring my best results. This year I know what to expect so once I have got my head around the new bikes I will be trying to get out of the blocks a bit quicker. Due to my unfortunate injury at the start of last season I hardly had any testing time, I am ready to go testing now so I will be ready.. I can not wait pick up where we left off. As they would say, I am seriously fired up.
