Jones Dorling Racing
Automotive
Jones Dorling Racing is a motorsport team competing in the British Superbike Championship's Superstock division.
Founded in late 2006 in the Cotswolds, the team originated as a local effort supporting rider Michael Elliott. Initially focused on club-level racing with 125cc and later 600cc machinery, the team was supported by Chris Jones through sponsorship of tires and fuel.
In 2007, Chris Jones transitioned from sponsor to team manager at Michael's request, recognizing the increasing financial demands of club racing. This marked a turning point for the team, leading to a significant step up to the national level in the National Superstock class. This expansion required a more structured organization, with the team comprising Michael's family (father and grandfather) and local mechanic/plumber Mark Steed. Jones Dorling Racing represents a story of progression from local racing to national competition, highlighting the dedication and ambition of a close-knit team.
