PTR Triumph Factory Racing

FIM Supersport World Championship

The FIM Supersport World Championship is one of the most competitive motorcycle racing series in the world. Featuring production-based middleweight machines and elite riders from across the globe, the championship delivers intense wheel-to-wheel racing across some of the most iconic circuits.

Triumph supplies the 765cc triple engine platform used across the championship, derived from the same architecture as the Street Triple engine family. Built for high performance and durability, the engine delivers the responsiveness and power required for world-class competition.

The championship calendar spans multiple continents, bringing together teams, riders, and manufacturers to compete for the Supersport World Championship title.

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.

PTR Triumph Factory Racing Team

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

Following wins in both domestic series and on the world stage, injury cut Buckmaster’s career short, and he eventually moved 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, a partner of Triumph’s racing program in the WorldSSP category, competing as PTR Triumph Factory Racing with the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS.

PTR Triumph regularly competed in the top five in the Supersport World Championship in 2023 and secured a podium finish in Mandalika. The team has race-winning provenance, having brought Triumph the honor of its first-ever World Supersport victory—and the first under 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 season with the squad.

Tom Booth-Amos

Booth-Amos has vast experience, having raced in the FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship before entering Grand Prix racing in 2019. In 2020 and 2021, the #69 racer competed in the Supersport 300 World Championship category, finishing runner-up in the series in his second season. In 2023, Booth-Amos finished second overall in the British Supersport Championship while also winning the World Supersport Challenge Championship.
