True Heroes Racing

True Heroes Racing was founded by Phil Spencer, a serving Royal Navy sailor. After working with a large number of injured UK service personnel on motorsport charity events, he decided to use competitive motorsport as a way of restoring a sense of direction and focus for our injured UK service personnel, so in 2012 True Heroes Racing was formed.

Laguna Motorcycles started working with the team at the start of 2013 and soon went on to be the main sponsor for Murray Hambro, (the first rider for True Heroes Racing), in the Triumph Triple Challenge. It was a fantastic opportunity for Laguna Motorcycles to be involved with such an inspirational rider and to work alongside a group of ambitious and driven team members who pulled out all the stops to make this unlikely ambition a reality! With many seasons under their belts, the team keep on growing and improving on track, making them one of the most recognisable and well respected teams within the motorsport community.
The team have built a solid foundation and reputation within the Ducati Tri Options Cup, switching from Triumph Daytona’s to Ducati 899 Panigale’s to Ducati 959 Panigale’s and fielding teams in the Ducati Tri Options Cup, British Sidecars and the Superstock 1000.

The team riders each have an incredible story behind them, from their time in the military, to overcoming injuries, to entering into motorcycle racing - but the team is much bigger than just its riders. True Heroes Racing is a race team which includes mechanics, physiotherapists, analysists etc. and each member benefits from the camaraderie and amazing team spirit by being part of this fantastic team.

With aspirations to go as far as possible, including the Isle Of Man TT race, the future is bright for the True Heroes Racing team as they continue to gain amazing skills and experience racing at the sharp edge. The whole concept of what True Heroes Racing is about, and what they are achieving, has really got the public’s attention and support… long may that continue and we’re super proud to support them.

Proud Sponsors Of True Heroes Racing Since 2013, providing the team with Ducati 959 Panigale motorcycles:

True Heroes Racing are racing in the Ducati Tri Options Cup on brand new Ducati 959 Panigale motorcycles, which we have proudly supplied them with for the season. This adrenalin fuelled machine, with incredible lightness, unprecedented agility and unmistakable design, gives True Heroes Racing new opportunities for a new season!

Each motorcycle is adapted to suit the riders needs, depending on their injuries sustained during their time in the military. For example, when Murray Hambro was racing for the team, his Panigale was not like any other on the starting line-up. For Murray to be able to ride with his prosthetic legs, the gear change control was removed from the footpegs and mounted up onto the handle bars. Murray used a Kliktronic system which has two push buttons mounted on the left side of the handle bar, one to go up the gears and one to go down. For Murray, the factory Ducati quickshifter was removed, and the Kliktronic system had an ignition interrupter facility that was wired into the bike to replace this, enabling Murray to have the same set up. To make space for the Kliktonic system to be mounted, certain parts of the original factory bike had to be modified. The battery was moved from the front left-hand side of the engine, down into the front of the belly pan and the radiator hoses exiting the engine had to be re-routed. In order to keep Murray’s feet on the footpegs, studs were added.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose. Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.
