The next chapter of Hayano Racing

Help kids get to the next level.

For Adrian and Adam, racing started as a personal adventure. It has become a reason to do something that lasts beyond their own time on the grid.

Hayano’s long-term focus is helping young racers from FAB Racing, British Mini Bikes and beyond prepare for progression, and remain on track when the costs outgrow what their families can sustain.

Our ambition is to bring together practical funding, coaching, race preparation and help telling each rider’s story. Results matter. So do preparation, attitude, teamwork and the willingness to learn.

We want bigger teams and sponsors to see riders who are ready for an opportunity: a clear record of progress, a professional public profile and the habits to make the most of their support. Progression towards Moto4 and ultimately Moto3 is a long-term ambition; every next step must suit the rider’s readiness and the opportunities available.


Welcome to the team

Josh Perkins.

Our next chapter starts with number 30.

Josh joins Hayano as our first supported young rider. He has also started racing 70cc machinery and has competed on it during part of the 2026 season, building experience for his next step. In FAB Racing’s Metrakit MK-MiniGP50 class, his results show strong progress. He finished fourth in the 2025 championship and sits third in the published 2026 standings after six rounds.

His 2026 highlights include first overall at Rowrah with 70 points, following fifth overall at Hooton Park and fourth at Ellough Park.

Three Sisters, Wigan · 11–13 September 2026. Josh showed real determination in a tough weekend. Pushing hard in difficult conditions, he crashed in practice on both the 50cc and 70cc bikes, with the setbacks costing him positions in qualifying. He regrouped and made up places in the races, bringing home 37 points in MK-MiniGP50 to hold onto third in the championship with 250 points after six rounds. He also added 30 points in MK-MiniGP70. A hard-earned weekend and a response we’re proud of. Well done, Josh!

Road Race Rider Coaching is Josh’s current primary sponsor. Jordan Malton’s coaching has worked wonders with him, and we’re delighted to join the family and existing supporters helping Josh progress. Jordan has also coached Adrian and Adam, a welcome connection within the Hayano team.

How it started

A perfectly sensible mid-life decision.

Adam Brown began racing at the start of 2024. Adrian Stowe joined later that year after deciding that turning 51 was as good a reason as any to go racing. Together they became Hayano Racing, lining up in EMRA Rookies through 2024 and 2025.

Adam stepped into the Open class for 2026, Adrian brought the unmistakable Gulf-coloured Triumph 765RS, and Clint Flemming joined the garage at Round 5.

We accidentally found the podium.

Against all reasonable expectations, Adrian managed a third-place finish in one of his Rookie races aboard an ex-BSB Kawasaki ZX-10R. The trophy is real, the grin is genuine and the bike’s subsequent ownership history requires its own paddock diagram.

Independent timing evidence ruins the excuses.

Adam put the number 33 Gen 5 ZX-10R on the Open-class podium at EMRA Round 4, finishing third in Race 2 and setting a 58.710 best lap. For once, the stopwatch and the trophy cabinet were in complete agreement.

FAB Racing · 50cc and 70cc

Josh is the first young rider in Hayano’s next chapter: helping kids get to the next level. Racing as #30, he finished fourth in the 2025 FAB MK-MiniGP50 championship with 190 points.

His 2026 highlights include first overall at Rowrah with 70 points and a determined recovery at Three Sisters in Wigan. Practice crashes on both the 50cc and 70cc bikes in tough conditions set back his qualifying, but Josh regrouped and made up places in the races. He scored 37 points in MK-MiniGP50 to retain third in the championship on 250 points after six rounds, plus 30 points in MK-MiniGP70 as he builds experience in the class. We’re proud of the way he bounced back. Well done, Josh!

Supported and coached by Jordan Malton at Road Race Rider Coaching, his current primary sponsor, Josh joins Hayano for the 2026 season finale and into 2027. We’re proud to join his family and existing supporters in backing his next step.
