FS-3 Racing History:

2012 - Ducati Cup sponsor Nigel Snook and Ducati Cup winner Darren Fry meet up during a Ducati Cup event.

2015 - FS-3 Racing is born as Darren Fry retires from riding and as he wants to keep himself and Nigel Snook busy they decided to create a SuperStock team called FS-3 Racing. "F" stands for Fry "S" Stands for Snook and "3" is the number Darren Fry used during his successful riding career.

2016 - In 2016 FS-3 competed in the Bennets British Super Bike Championship for the first time and in their debut year they had rider Billy McConnell and he was equipped with a second hand Kawasaki, however it was a proven winner as it was Paul Bird's from the season before. Their best position in the 2016 BSB season was 4th at Snetterton which was good for brand new team, however the team hoped to be fighting for wins in the near future. TO make ensure that the team was going in the right direction the team made big moves off track as they moved into the Fry's family business factory and they get a lorry to replace their two vans.

2017 - James Rispoli was the teams SuperStock rider and McConnell was back for a second season in the BSB. The team had quite a disappointing year as Billy McConell has a few crashes one of which put him out for the rest of the season. Forced to finish the Championship with stand in drivers the team did not make the step forward that they were hoping to make in 2017.

2018 - In 2018 they still only had one bike in the British Super Bike Championship and that was two time SuperStock Championship winner Danny and racing in the SuperStock series Lee Jackson joined the team and was in for a good year. Two third place podiums at Knockhill for Buchan and a race win and podiums for Jackson got them excited and the team noticed.

2019 - In 2019 the team was given support from Kawasaki UK as they had a new bike for the season. Two wins plus four other podium appearances placed him fourth in the points after nine rounds meaning the team and Buchan would appear in the end of season Showdown for the first time. He held on to his fourth place, whilst Jackson finished third in the Superstock class with a win, four second places and three lap records. Then the team got a call from Kawasaki UK to discuss taking over the running of their official Superbike entry.

2020 - The team had achieved their early vision to become a top BSB team. All set to run two Superbikes, one for Buchan and one for Jackson who was promoted. Then the pandemic struck with all the issues and delays and a loss of the sponsor, but with lots of help and support, the team completed the six-round series.

2021 - A state-of-the-art workshop created at Darren’s factory was completed just in time for the beginning of the season and now provides world-class facilities for the crew to work in. Also new was a further updated version of the trusty ZX-10RR with aerodynamic bodywork and a stronger engine. Changes on the rider front too. 2020 Supersport champion, 19-year-old Rory Skinner joined the team on a two-year deal.

2022 - In the 2022 BSB season the team collected 3 race wins and a few podiums here and there. With a new title sponsor the team had achieved their dream of becoming a front runner, however it was not the best end to the season as Rory Skinner had a huge crash getting caught between another riders bike and wheel and Lee Jackson joined him in the treatment room not long after meaning the team had to end the season without any riders on track. 26 year old Lee Jackson finished an impressive 4th in the championship and the 21 year old Rory Skinner finished 8th despite missing some races.

2023 - With Rory Skinner leaving to join MOTO3 team American Racing Team some fans expect Lee Jackson to be teammates with either Pirelli Junior SuperStock Championship winner Max Cook (19 years old), Luke Stapelford who is a very experienced SuperSport rider at the age of 31 and SuperSport runner up Bradley Perie (22 years old).
