A Little About Brayden
Born January 1995 in Tumut, NSW Australia, Brayden was first introduced to motorbikes at the age of 3.
His first taste of success was when he was seven years old, finishing 2nd in the Australian Dirt Track Titles at Cowra, NSW.
Riding in a variety of disciplines throughout his youth, and suffering the occasional setback (Crash!), Brayden decided to concentrate on road racing.
In 2014 he competed in the Australasian Superbike Championship, in the Supersport category, making the step up into the premier Australian Superbike Championship, onboard two Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbikes in 2016.
2017 unleashed the biggest change in his racing career to date. Moving to England to compete in the 2017 British Superstock 1000 Championship racing on board a Yamaha R1 for CF Motorsport.
This year Brayden has moved teams to the DAO Racing team on a Kawasaki ZX10-RR in the Superstock class, alongside former Senior TT winner, Dean Harrison, in The British Superbike Class.
Round 9 Donnington
IT WAS THE FIRST OF MANY FOR ELLIOTT AT DONINGTON PARK
With the weather playing a key role in the race pace and predictability at Donington Park Circuit, with the rain resulting in a shorter race format. Elliott was full committed on the DAO Racing Kawsaki Superbike in his first wet race weekend and depsite the challenging conditions, left his (UK) home circuit with P19 and 2 x P17. His highest finish so far.
With one round to go, he is looking forward to collecting more data, laps and Superbike fitness at the season finale in Brands Hatch.
‘Overall it’s nice to end the weekend on a positive. It was nice to be in the mix and battling with some of the guys, obviously the more I’m around people the more I’m learning.
Wet laps on the Superbike was a good thing to have, but the weekend didn’t come without it’s challenges, with a small crash on Friday. It’s been a challenge finding the right set up and getting comfortable on the bike, but I’m definitely making the most of it, and yes overall it was challenging but with a positive reward at the end.
Having family and friends over from Australia has been a great support.’

Round 3, Donnington Park
THE DAO Racing team was back in the points on Sunday as Brayden Elliott picked up a top 10 on his return to racing action.
The Australian crossed the line ninth in Round Four of the Pirelli National Superstock Championship at Donington Park – as the squad’s Bennetts British Superbike rider Dean Harrison was forced to withdraw following a crash on Saturday.
Harrison, who had qualified 21st for Saturday’s race, had been hoping to make up a number of places in the race but his hopes were dashed when he got caught up in another rider’s crash, hitting debris from the stricken bike which in turn caused the Bradford roads specialist to crash out.
Following a second small spill during Sunday’s morning warm up, Harrison and the squad decided to pull out of the remainder of the event to give him time to recover for the Isle of Man TT which begins next week.
Harrison’s withdrawal left Elliott flying the DAO flag alone in his return to action after missing the last round due to injury.
Qualifying 16th, he was determined to make amends on race day and got off to a good start, picking up two places on the opening lap before riding a strong and consistent race, making several passes to finally cross the line ninth, his first top 10 of the year.
Brayden Elliott:
“Overall it was a good round, we’ve still got a few challenges that we need to work through but the race was good, it was our first top 10 of the year which is important for us.
“Generally speaking, it was a positive weekend, obviously it’s not exactly where we want to be but it was a step in the right direction so I leave here a bit more confident and happy and looking forward to the rest of the year.”
