Peter John Hickman (born 8 April 1987 in Burton-upon-Trent) is an English professional motorcycle racer and business owner for preparation of racing machines.[1]

For 2021, he competed in the British Superbike Championship class aboard a BMW M1000RR, initially with superbike teammate Xavi Forés for new team FHO Racing, formed from some elements of Hickman's old team Smiths Racing, which closed at the end of the 2020 season.[2][3] He continued with the same team during 2022.

Hickman started TT racing in 2014. He won two in 2018, three in 2019, followed by four in 2022, following the resumption of TT racing after two years of no Isle of Man TT events during COVID-19 travel restrictions.[4] The tally of four wins in one week of racing has only been achieved by two other riders, Phillip McCallen and Michael Dunlop,[5] and Ian Hutchinson who scored five in 2010.[6]

Racing background

Short circuit

Hickman took his first BSB race win at Cadwell Park in 2014. After starting the season without a ride he rode for Tsingtao WK Kawasaki for a single round before joining the RAF Reserves Honda team for the rest of the season at Knockhill.[7]

During 2020, he competed in British Superbikes aboard a BMW S1000RR for Smiths Racing with team-mate Alex Olsen.[8][9]

Hickman finished 2019 British Superbike Championship season in sixth place, the 2020 season in 14th and 2021 in fifth place.[10]

Isle of Man TT races

He currently holds the record as the fastest ever newcomer at the Isle of Man TT,[11] with a fastest average lap speed of 129.104 mph (207.773 km/h),[7] and a race-average speed of 125.38 mph (201.78 km/h).[12] He prepared for his TT race debut by travelling to the Island and driving 70 laps of the near-38 mile course in a hire car, and by watching videos. Hickman's father Dave was a Manx Grand Prix winner and entered two TTs.[7][13]

Hickman clinched his first victory at the Isle of Man TT in a close race from Michael Dunlop and Dean Harrison, breaking Ian Hutchinson's lap record twice in the 2018 Superstock event.[14] Hickman won the Senior TT, raising the absolute lap record to 135.452 mph (217.989 km/h) on the final lap, winning from Dean Harrison with Manxman Conor Cummins in third.[15]

Other UK road races

Hickman achieved his first international road race win at the 2015 Ulster Grand Prix, winning the feature race ahead of Conor Cummins.[16]

Macau Grand Prix

Hickman won the last race of the 2015 season in November, the Macau Grand Prix, riding a Briggs Equipment/RAF Reserves BMW S1000RR.[17]

In November 2016, he retained his Macau Grand Prix title, after he worked his way through from fourth position, winning by just 0.533 seconds from eight-time winner Michael Rutter.[18]

In the 2017 event, Hickman was placed second, in front of event team-mate Michael Rutter, both riding Bathams BMWs.[19]

In 2018 Hickman won the Macau event for a third time, riding his BMW S1000RR prepared by Smiths Racing for Aspire Ho, ahead of Rutter (Bathams Aspire Ho Honda RC213V-S) and Martin Jessop (PBM Ducati).
