DAO Racing Honda celebrated their first podium finish in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Donington Park, with Josh Brookes’ third place in the opening race of the weekend launching him back on to the podium for the first time since 2023.
The third place marked DAO Racing’s first top three finish in the series since their Championship debut in 2022, making the switch of manufacturer to Honda this season, with double champion Brookes and Lee Jackson onboard.
Team Owner Sommai Nantakoon commented: “I was really shocked at Donington Park that we were on the podium that quickly for the DAO Racing team. I am so happy for Josh to do this for himself and the whole team and I need to thank them all for their hard work.
“To be a team owner and have our first podium was a big moment for me, this is my passion and for many years I have followed BSB. Now to be in this position to make this dream come true is a very proud moment for myself and Clarissa. It is wonderful to be a part of this sport and you just have to dream and we believed in our team and riders and now we are looking forward to Snetterton.”
