Billy McConnell returns to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship grid in 2024 with the C&L Fairburn Properties /Look Forward Racing Honda team as they progress from the Pirelli National Superstock Championship.

McConnell enters his third year with the team and returns to the Superbike class he last competed in on a full-time basis in 2016. The Australian first contested the series in 2006 when he rode for Virgin Yamaha, having won the Virgin Mobile Yamaha R6 Cup, and has subsequently lined up with MSS Kawasaki (2008), Smiths Racing BMW (2015) and FS-3 Racing Kawasaki (2016) as well as having a one-off outing for OMG Racing Suzuki.

The 2014 British Supersport Champion will now make the move back to Bennetts BSB after another successful season in the Superstock series where he claimed victory at Thruxton as well as top three finishes at Silverstone, Snetterton, Brands Hatch and Donington Park.
