About Liam
Liam MacDonald began riding at the age of 16. Entering the Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSBK), in Supersport, in 2016, it was the following year, 2017, that saw him win all ten races in MSBK ‘Supersport Rookie’ series.
A broken wrist twelve months later didn’t stop him from wrapping up the MSBK National Supersport Championship and scoring points on his debut in the Asia Road Racing Championship in the SS600 category. Severing his finger in a Race 2 crash, it was 2019 before Liam could line up on a competitive grid once again. Contesting both the MSBK Supersport and ARRC Supersport 600 championships it was a character-building year. He also made his 1000cc debut at the end of 2019, racing to a brace of second place finishes at the Sepang International Circuit.
After sitting 2020 out Liam returned to the track in 2021, competing for Pure Attitude Racing in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Championship with immediate success. Eleventh overall in the final standings does not truly reflect his achievement. The ability to learn not only new circuits, but also a new machine and new tyres is something that Liam took in his stride, his season highlight P5 at Road America.
Impressed by his natural speed and ability, Pure Attitude Racing announced that Liam would remain for them for a second season in 2022. It proved a wise choice – Liam played a pivotal role in developing the team’s all new Yamaha R7 – racing to multiple top ten finishes.
2023 saw him on the sidelines after a switch to a new team fell through at the last moment. Undeterred Liam continued to train and kept himself visible in the MotoAmerica paddock – the result a one-off ride in the season final where despite not racing for a full year, Liam delivered a top ten finish on a bike he had never even seen prior to the event.
Despite a strong end to 2023, Liam was once again left without a ride for 2024. Switching his focus to a more technical and non-racing career, the #FlyingKiwi joins CW Moto for 2025 as Crew Member, working in MotoAmerica Supersport.
