It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we confirm our much-loved road racer, Daniel Ingham, was involved in an incident during last night's practice session at the Isle of Man TT and succumbed to the injuries sustained.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dan's immediate family: Helayna and the children (Joey & Pheobe), Martin, Amanda, Jamie, Laura and Trev, team members and close friends at this impossibly difficult time.

Gone too soon Dan; the nicest guy in the paddock and forever our Superstar #35. 💔

Apprentices. Addison Brentnall and Will Oakley…

Both shortlisted for Apprentice of the Year at the Made In Sheffield Awards.

And for them that was recognition enough for all their hard work.

Yes they’d have liked to have won.. we would have liked them to have but being shortlisted is a HUGE achievement.

From everyone at Castings Technology, CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for everything you do.

What a night last Thursday was! WE WON MANUFACTURER OF THE YEAR at the Made In Sheffield Awards!!!

Up against stiff competition, you can never take these things for granted... but we have had an AMAZING last 12 months.

There isn't an individual to single out as every single member of the team has played a pivotal role in the achievements.

We have received £15m in investment from Zachary Asset Holdings.

We are about to get the keys to our newly £multi-million refurbished 200,000sqft premises on Shepcote Lane.

We have appointed a Training and Development Manager to ensure new starters have the most thorough induction possible, and those staff who want one have a career development plan.

The team is already growing and more jobs will be created once we are fully installed in Shepcote Lane.

Congratulations to everyone at Castings Technology and thank you for all your dedication and hard work.

A Huge Thank You to ALL of Our Sponsors!

Well, we’ve been desperate to update you all and finally we’re able to do so!

With the 2026 motorcycle racing season well underway, both our riders have been in action in recent weeks, including testing, racing and, in the case of Dan, obtaining the necessary signatures to tackle the Mountain Course again. Yes, you read that correctly, after a year away from racing in the Isle of Man (following his ManxGP Senior win), during which time he has competed in Northern Ireland, Germany & Belgium – Dan has entries in two classes at this year’s Isle of Man: Sportbike TT (formerly Supertwin) on the Castings Technology Motorsport Aprilia RS660 and Supersport class (running under updated regulations that align with British and World Supersport; also known as ‘Next Generation’).

In order to be competitive in the revised Supersport class, the Team decided against investing heavily in Dan’s existing GYTR Yamaha R6 and, thanks to factory support from Kawasaki Motors UK and Brent Gladwin of GR Motosport, we have been able to place Dan on a very special Ninja ZX6R for the coming season and as I write this, we are at the NW200 – Northern Ireland’s largest outdoor sporting event!

So, an incredibly exciting season ahead for Dan & Jamie, which brings me to a very important part of this update – Sponsorship! We are a relatively small team that has enjoyed significant success on both track and road, but even at our level the costs are considerable, including consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, drive components and fuel. We could never have achieved these successes without our long-standing and new sponsors, which are listed below. Aside from updating you all as to our progress this season, in the coming months we will be releasing regular ‘Sponsor Spotlight’ articles to showcase the excellent products and services they offer, so please keep an eye out for them!

Castings Technology Motorsport makes IOM TT debut with Dan Ingham.

Team continues successful association with Ingham and welcomes Kawasaki Motors UK as an official partner.

Sheffield-based Castings Technology Motorsport has secured a factory-backed Kawasaki ZX636 for Dan Ingham with the support of Kawasaki Motors UK and Brent Gladwin of GR Motosport.

Gladwin is a multiple championship-winning team principal with 30 years in motorcycle competition, who has joined the team as an advisor.

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.”

Mr 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.
