McAMS Yamaha is the team borne out of the Team Traction Control squad first launched by Prodigy front Keith Flint. Unlike the Anvil Hire squad, McAMS also has a significant presence at the Isle of Man TT.  Brookes, however, rode for Norton at the 2017 TT and is expected to compete with Norton again at TT 2018.

Joining Brookes at McAMS Yamaha will be 2016 British Supersport Champion Tarran Mackenzie who moves up to join the ranks of British Superbike after a troublesome introduction to the world of Moto2 in 2017.
