Muc-Off Goes All In to Keep James Hillier Racing at This Year’s Isle o

Hold onto your visors – we’ve got a mega news drop incoming. James Hillier is BACK for the 2025 Isle of Man TT, and this time, he’s going full send under the Muc-Off Racing banner. That’s right – we’re not just keeping his ride shiny; we’re strapping our name to the whole damn thing. Helmet, suit, bike – the lot.

This marks our first-ever title sponsorship of a TT race team, and who better to lead the charge than James Hillier – a road racing legend and a proud member of the Muc-Off family for over a decade

Let’s rewind for a second. Just a few weeks ago, the partnership was born out of adversity after Hillier’s 2024 team withdrew from the 2025 Isle of Man TT challenge. Most would’ve panicked. James? He grabbed his phone and got to work — chasing bikes, calling in favours, and piecing together a plan to keep the dream alive.

With support from WTF boss Alan Gardner and the legends at PCR Performance, James has secured two savage 2024 Honda Fireblades—one for Superbike, one for Superstock—along with his trusted pit crew from last season. Proven machines. Proven crew. Now, he just needs the final piece of the puzzle: a title sponsor.

Because let’s be real – bikes and brains don’t run without cash. That’s where we stepped in. With the clock ticking and James still on the hustle, we went full-fat title sponsor – throwing down not just our full bike care arsenal and brand backing, but the funding to get his crew in place and make this comeback mission real.

“When I got the call from Alan, I was floored,” said Hillier. “It took a while to sink in. Not being at the TT just wasn’t an option, so I hit the phones hard – chasing bikes, chasing funding, pulling favours. It’s been chaos. But bit by bit, we pieced it together. The Muc-Off crew stepping up was massive – we’re still a lean outfit, but we’re going in swinging.”

And swing we shall. Our CEO and all-round bike care maniac Alex Trimnell had this to say:

"When we heard James was left without a team for this year’s TT, we knew we had to step in. We’ve supported him for over a decade and he’s part of the Muc-Off family. So, on top of keeping his rig running at full tilt with our full motorcycle range, we’ve gone all in with title sponsorship for his team – helmet, suit, bike, the lot. It’s our first time running a fully branded Muc-Off race entry at the Isle of Man TT, and we couldn’t be more stoked to be doing it with James as pilot.” Alex Trimnell, CEO at Muc-Off.

So, there it is. You know the story. We’re charging into the Isle of Man with our pink and black flying high, bikes dialled, and crew locked in. For the first time ever, the Muc-Off Racing name is hitting the TT start line in full force – fully branded, fully backed, and fully buzzing to see our colours go bar to bar on the most iconic road racing stage in the world. This is more than a race – it’s a statement.

LET’S F'KING GO!
