DAO Racing Honda has concluded the 2026 ZYN British Superbike Championship season, securing a hard-fought top-10 position in the final team standings following an intense 33-race calendar that concluded at the Brands Hatch GP circuit this weekend.

Led by a determined dual-rider line-up, the team locked in 8th place overall in the Ceratizit Teams’ Trophy Classification, accumulating a total of 220 points across a demanding season contested through the Main Season, Showdown and Finale stages.

Lee Jackson spearheaded the team’s points tally in the individual standings, capturing 10th place overall in the Riders’ Championship with 192 points.

Jackson displayed remarkable grit and point-scoring consistency throughout the year, regularly fighting inside the highly competitive midfield pack to deliver critical results for the DAO Racing team. He also secured 11th overall in the final Speedy League standings with an aggregate performance metric of 1788.5.

Teammate Josh Brookes brought home 15th place overall in the Riders’ Championship, banking 134 points to seal a solid dual-point-scoring infrastructure for the outfit. Brookes’ extensive experience was pivotal in developing the package across diverse UK circuits. Brookes concluded his campaign just behind Jackson in the Speedy League classification, taking 12th place with an aggregate score of 1782.

The combined data from Jackson and Brookes also aided Honda in capturing 3rd place in the ultimate Manufacturers’ Championship Classification with 470 points, underscoring the brand’s collective performance footprint.

Reflecting on the hard-fought 2026 championship campaign, DAO Racing Honda Team Manager expressed pride in the dedication of the entire team, laying down crucial baselines as they begin preparations for the upcoming winter development schedule.

Jonny said: “It’s been a difficult end to the season with the inclement weather conditions, obviously tough for all of the riders. Credit to all of the fans that stopped to see the race, great to see all of the support that BSB gets.

Lee brought it home and obviously gained a top 10 in the championship overall. Josh also brought it home safely and has finished inside the top 15.

Bit of a tough season to look back on, we’ve had some good showings but it has also been quiet hard work as well trying to get the results together and push forward with the bike.

We are looking forward to getting going again next year, work has already started on 2027.”
