The FHO Racing BMW team have confirmed the return of Joe Francis for the final round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch this weekend (October 15/16/17), following his debut performance at Donington Park.
Francis joined the team at the penultimate round, scoring a pair of top ten finishes with a best result of sixth place despite the tricky mixed conditions.
Francis said: "I am really happy to have been given another opportunity to race with the FHO Racing BMW team at Brands Hatch. I felt like we were making good progress at Donington Park in all conditions, and the extra time on the BMW M 1000 RR will only be a positive for me.
“I learnt a lot from the team at Donington Park, so I am looking forward to moving forward again this weekend and hopefully I can end the season with three strong finishes. I need to thank Faye and the FHO Racing BMW team for this second opportunity with them.”
Team Owner Faye Ho commented: “Joe impressed me with his approach at Donington Park; he was working with a new team and new bike, plus he had the changing conditions to contend with and that made it even more difficult, but he worked hard and took two top ten finishes.
