This will be the second successive season that Remeha and Andrews Water Heaters have sponsored the Smiths Racing BMW team in the UK’s leading road racing superbike racing series. 

Contesting this year’s championship in the brand-new Smiths BMW S1000RR are Peter ‘Hicky’ Hickman, who took fifth place in the BSB 2018 series, and James Ellison, a former World Endurance and double European Superstock champion.

Baxi Heating commercial sales director, Dan Martindale, said: “We are thrilled to sponsor Smiths Racing BMW for the second year running in this highly popular national event. 

“The sponsorship not only enables us to raise awareness of our brands and organisation at this highly visible event but provides us with numerous exciting opportunities to socialise with our customers and team at the race days. Both riders are hungry for victory – and if last year’s action is anything to go by, we are in for another stellar season.”

Darren Jones, Smiths Racing BMW team manager, added: “We are delighted to have the continued support of Remeha and Andrews Water Heaters in the 2019 British Superbikes Championship. 2018 was a great season for our team and we hope that, with the ongoing support of these two quality brands, we’ll equal or surpass last year’s success.”

The first round of the 2019 Bennetts British Superbikes will take place from April 19-21 at Silverstone.
