Big motorcycle racing weekend for Dowling Property

A big weekend lies ahead for a local company, Dowling Property, which sponsors Irish and international motorcycle road racer Kevin Keyes, participating in one of the sport's biggest races this weekend, the Bennetts BSB International Race at Oulton Park in Cheshire. The BSB is now into its 38th year of championship racing, and this is a rare opportunity to compete against some of the sport's biggest names in this one-off, international race.

Kevin has had his best road racing season of his career so far in 2025, winning a prestigious award at the Isle of Man TT Races, RST Isle of Man TT's Star of Tomorrow Award, where a previous winner was Davey Todd, now one of the top motorcycle racers in the world, so not bad company for Kevin to be in.

The BSB race is the last event of the year for him, so he's hoping to have some success with the Rathangan-based Daracore Racing Team,  owned by Brian and Keith Farrell, for whom Kevin rides. 

John J Dowling of Dowling Property is himself a motorbike and road racing fanatic. "We are delighted to be involved as Kevin's sponsor, as not only is he fast and brings home the trophies, but he's a pure gentleman and a credit to the sport and his family. We've had a great year of travel with him and the Daracore Race Team to The North West 200 in Co Antrim, The Isle of Man TTs, and now off to Cheshire. It's such an exciting time, and we wish the Daracore Racing Team the best, as we know the hard work behind the scenes."
