PTR Triumph Factory Racing Team

The PTR Triumph Factory Racing team, which is based in Lincolnshire, UK, is managed by Simon Buckmaster, who has been involved in racing from a young age both as a competitor and manager; in fact, in the earlier years of Buckmaster’s racing career he competed on a Triumph Bonneville.

Following wins in both the domestic series’ and on the world stage, injury cut Buckmaster’s career short and he eventually went into the management side of the industry, leading a number of successful manufacturer-backed teams to British and World Championship glory. Today Simon manages the PTR Racing squad, which is a partner of Triumph’s Racing programme in the WorldSSP category competing as PTR Triumph Factory Racing with the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS.

PTR Triumph have been regularly competing in the top five in the Supersport World Championship in 2023 and secured a podium finish in Mandalika. The team have race-winning provenance, having brought Triumph the honours of their first ever World Supersport victory, and the first of the ‘Next Generation’ formula, in 2022.

In 2026 the team fields Tom Booth-Amos, from Newport, Shropshire for a third season and Australia’s Oli Bayliss for his second term with the squad.
