Josh Waters to continue with McMartin Racing in 2024

Following a successful 2023 season where he bagged seven wins and finished a close second on the points tally, Josh Waters will continue his partnership with McMartin Racing in the 2024 mi-bike Australian Superbike Championship, presented by Motul.

In a year where he was a key contender throughout, the Mildura resident will return to the Ducati V4r he first hopped on in the second half of 2022 and has a clear goal in mind to snatch championship glory after a nail-biting battle to the final race of 2023 at The Bend.

“It’s a great feeling to be continuing with McMartin Racing for another season as we had some great pace last year in what was our learning year together; so with that, to come so close to an Australian title was a bitter pill to swallow,” he explained.

“There is no hiding how gutted we were to come so close to the victory, but it gives us something much bigger to work on as we head into our second season together.

“There is a wealth of knowledge within the McMartin Racing team and our results throughout the year certainly reflected the strong partnership we have, I am looking forward to getting the new season underway.”

McMartin Racing team owner Craig McMartin was also buoyant about the continuation of the partnership following the achievements of 2023 and is eager to see what this season dishes up for the front-running squad.

“Last year’s season was one of the most competitive we have seen in recent years and to have the championship come down to the final race of the year was certainly one for the history books,” he said.

The first round of the 2024 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul will take place on February 23-25 at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit alongside the Superbike World Championship opener.
