For 2023, he raced for the Paul Bird Motorsport Ducati team in the British Superbike Championship, losing the championship by half-a-point, and in road racing events such as the North West 200 aboard a Ducati Panigale V4 R.[1]
Irwin was confirmed in March 2024 to be continuing with his former team, renamed as PBM Racing following the death of Paul Bird, as a single rider entry in British Superbikes.[2]
Irwin has experienced success on both short circuits and the roads, with runner-up spots in the 2022 British Superbike Championship, 21 points behind champion Bradley Ray,[1] and again in 2023 by a half-point to teammate Tommy Bridewell.
Irwin also has allied eleven wins at the North West 200, all in the superbike class including doubles at the 2018 and 2022 meetings.[3] Irwin also holds the lap record for the fastest newcomer at the Isle of Man TT, set in 2022 with a lap clocked at 129.85 mph.[4]
