The squad won the title last y💃ear with Kyle Ryde in BSB and has netted Yamaha two championships in the series during their partnership.
Last year, OMG Racin🌞g rebranded itself as WTF Racing to compete on the roads with James Hillier.
Hillier campaigned Honda machinery in the big bike classes for the team, scoring a best of fourth in the Senꩲior TT.

“More to follow.”
The WTF Rac♊ing team also took part in this year’s Dakar Rally with Hillier, becoming the first outfit ever to compete at both the famous rally raid and the TT.
A spokesperson for the Isle of Man TT said of the news: "The WTF Racing team will be missed by the TT Paddock this year, and we had been looking forward to seeing their expanded line-up 🍃for 2025.
"Our focus now is on working with ☂and supporting both James and Dom to ensure we see them on the grid this yeꦕar."
