Sheffield-based Castings Technology Motorsport has secured a factory-backed Kawasaki ZX636 for Dan Ingham’s Isle of Man TT debut with the support of Kawasaki Motors UK and Brent Gladwin of GR Motosport.
Ingham will race the Kawasaki in the TT’s Supersport class, which this year adopts updated regulations bringing it in line with British and World Supersport. In addition, Ingham has entered the Sportbike category aboard the team’s Aprilia RS660, giving him two classes at this year’s event.
Melton Mowbray’s Ingham, 33, arrives at the TT as the 2024 Manx Grand Prix Senior race winner, with further experience gained at the Northwest 200 and in European road racing rounds.
Richard Cook, managing director of Castings Technology and founder of Castings Technology Motorsport, said: “This is an incredibly exciting development for the team. We could not have achieved this without the support of Kawasaki Motors UK and Brent Gladwin of GR Motosport, whose experience and connections in the sport have been invaluable.”
Cook added: “Dan has a rare aptitude for this sport. He is one of the most consistently smooth and safe riders I have watched around the island, and that is exactly what we want from our rider at the TT.”
Ross Burridge, head of marketing and racing department for Kawasaki Motors UK, said: “We met with Dan, Richard and Brent at Motorcycle Live last year and immediately gelled with the team! With Dan’s raw speed and the vast experience of the team around him, combined with the competitive Ninja ZX-6R we are confident of a strong IOM TT debut.”
Castings Technology Motorsport is the dedicated motorsport entity of South Yorkshire-based Castings Technology, a leading UK manufacturer of high-integrity components in titanium, steel and other alloys. The team also backs Dan’s brother Jamie Ingham in the NG Road Racing Championships on short circuits, where he finished third in the Minitwins championship in 2025.

What are the Isle of Man TT Races
There are very few sporting events in the world with the tradition, heritage, and prestige of the Isle of Man TT Races. Despite being the world’s oldest continuous motorsports event, the TT remains, however, as fascinating and relevant today – continuously inspiring new generations of riders to come and race the Mountain Course.
Largely unchanged since 1911, the 37.73 miles of public roads simply capture the imagination like no other motorcycling venue can. The TT Course, whilst difficult to learn, is even harder to master – requiring immense levels of skill and concentration as speeds nudge an incredible 200mph.
