BRANDON PAASCH TO JOIN RODIO RACING AND BUILDBASE SUZUKI HAWK RACING FOR BRITISH SUPERBIKES FINAL ROUND AT BRANDS HATCH GP OCTOBER 14-16
Making it a trio of New Jersey USA racers invading British Superbikes at Brands Hatch GP this weekend, Brandon Paasch will compete in the Pirelli National Superstock series aboard the BuildBase Suzuki GSX-R1000. Paasch joins Gus Rodio and Anthony Mazziotto as wildcard entries at the final round of the 2022 season.
Paasch, who last raced in British Superbikes in 2021 aboard a Triumph 765 in the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship, is excited to go back to the UK and compete on the bigger bike. He finished in fourth place in the 2022 MotoAmerica Yuasa Stock 1000 championship aboard another Suzuki GSX-R1000, so he feels he will get comfortable quickly on the BuildBase racebike.
“For sure, I’m stoked to get back to the series where I won my Moto3 championship. I have a lot of friends in the paddock, and I always had good results at Brands. It was a bit of a learning year for me on the 1000, but I was able to grow and figure out how to put the Suzuki back on the box. I’m going to take that and put it to use right away on the BuildBase bike, and I’m thankful to Steve at Hawk Racing for this chance to compete against the top British racers in the series,” Paasch said.
“I’ll still be working with Gus (Rodio) and Anthony (Mazziotto) to help them learn the track and some of its tricks,” Paasch also said. “It’s great to have a couple other Jersey boys there – we’re all good friends, and I think we have something to prove coming over from MotoAmerica. We’ll see – I think it’s going to be a great weekend of racing, and I know the three of us are pumped up to show what we’ve got.”
Paasch is joining forces with Rodio Racing for the weekend, as well as gaining support from the Classic Car Club Manhattan, Three Horseshoes Ecton and luxeStar VIP. Paasch is sponsored by Spidi and Arai.

American Paasch to contest final
National Superstock 1000 round with VisionTrack Suzuki and Hawk Racing
American hotshot Brandon Paasch is set to make his first National Superstock Championship appearance this weekend, as he joins the Hawk Racing ranks at Brands Hatch and will pilot the team’s VisionTrack Suzuki GSX-R1000R.
The 21-year-old is no stranger to UK circuits having won the 2019 British Motostar Championship and competed in the British Supersport Championship in the past.
The twice Daytona 200 champion is also no stranger to superstock-spec GSX-R machinery, following a strong campaign in MotoAmerica this season that saw end the year in fourth in the standings.
Brandon Paasch, “I’m super-pumped to be riding Suzuki over here this weekend. Obviously I know the circuits on a smaller bike but I’ve never raced in the Superstock class in the UK before. But after a season on the superstock bike in America I feel ready to go, and I’m excited to see where we stack up against the best guys in the class over here. I can’t thank the Hawk Racing team enough for the opportunity and, thanks to Shane Byrne and all my sponsors for making it happen.”
