WHOWE ARE
Created by a group of passionate individuals with a highly successful background in many forms of elite two-wheeled racing, including British Superbikes, road racing & desert races, WTF Racing will take on two of the world’s toughest motorcycle challenges in 2024 & 2025, onboard a Honda Fireblade for the TT & a KOVE 450 Rally for the Dakar.
WHERE WE WILL RACE IN 2025
In 2025, James & the team will take on their own fearsome “Douglas to Dakar and Back” Challenge, competing in the world-famous Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT), before beginning training for his second Dakar Rally, tackling many thousands of kilometres across the 15-day event in January 2025. Once home, the team will have just a few months before their second TT campaign
WHO IS RACING FOR WTF?
In 2025, James Hiller and Dom Herbertson will be racing the WTF bikes at the Isle of Man TT and North West 200.
James is a highly experienced off-road rider who completed the Dakar Rally completely solo in 2023, despite sustaining a serious injury during the opening stages. He will return in January 2025!
WHAT IS
THE FUTURE
FOR WTF?
The skies the limit! With a highly driven team & vastly experienced team, one of the fastest & most experienced road racers on the planet, and a support programme most can only dream of, WTF Racing will be looking for class wins from the off, potentially expanding into a number of other disciplines in the future.
JAMES
HILLIER

Hillier has amassed 14 podiums since his debut at the TT in 2008, with victory coming in the 2013 Lightweight race.

Never one to shirk a challenge, James is excited to take on a new discipline. James secured his best average race lap record of 132.7mph in 2023. Now the 6th fastest rider to lap the famous circuit.
DOM
HERBERTSON
Dom joins WTF for our assault on the International Road Race season in 2025.
To date, Dom has notched up some impressive Road Race Podiums!
He proudly claimed his first Isle of Man TT podium in 2024.
No stranger to the winner's enclosure, he won the Classic TT 2018, but there's nothing quite like the first TT podium.
He also won the Southern 100, Armoy, Cookstown, Tandragee 100 and an impressive win in the Spa 6hrs.
But all these fall into insignificance as he claims his greatest achievement to date is winning the sexiest 'North East Lumberjack' in 2022!
