With three sons all racing motocross as kids, the Hillier family lived and breathed bikes. When foot-and-mouth disease shut down much of UK motocross in the early 2000s, Steve turned his focus to Supermoto, picking up several championship wins along the way.
By 2004, the boys were back on track thanks to support from Steve Berry at Honda of Salisbury, racing youth MX before moving into the Southern Supermoto Championship and later the British rounds — including their first Mettet Superbiker appearance. That trip lit a passion that’s still burning today.
In 2012, after Mettet moved to a new circuit, the team switched things up — trading kerbs for fields and going full throttle into Grasstrack. Invited to events in Osnabrück, Germany by the late great Lew Coffin, Steve’s boys proved they definitely didn’t need brakes. Those years were legendary — fast, loud, and full of unforgettable people.
As the lads grew up and went their own way, they still kept their boots in the dirt, racing local MX and Supermoto events. When Mettet announced a return to the old street circuit in 2015, SHRC rolled back in on converted MX bikes — and just like that, the spark was back: high-octane, 80 mph, 45° lean angles, and the smell of hot rubber.
By 2016–2019, the team was racing full-time again — first in the British Supermoto Championship, then across Europe with Trevor Pope Motorcycles, competing in Belgium and the Netherlands and finishing inside the top 10.
From 2020 to 2024, SHRC joined forces with a talented group of riders from the South — the Goon Squad — creating a unique, down-to-earth team atmosphere that still carries through the paddock today.
Late 2024 saw the launch of Go On Moto, our own shop and track-side setup, and the build of a full-spec Yamaha 450 Supermoto. With key sponsors joining the journey, 2025 became one of our strongest seasons yet — ending on a high with a rebrand to SHRC – Steve Hillier Racing Company.
Built on graft, determination, and a love of racing, SHRC has represented the UK at the Mettet Superbiker for more than 20 years, taking part in 20 events over 22 seasons.
From local tracks like Three Sisters and Lydd to the European paddocks of Belgium, the Hillier name has become a fixture wherever tight corners meet fast exits.
