Phoenix Tools Fantic arrives on the Arenacross grid for 2026 with the enthusiasm, grit and all-in attitude that defines the series at its best. Led by Devon-based industrial supplier Phoenix Tools, the team makes its indoor debut driven by passion rather than expectation, embracing Arenacross for its energy, exposure and unmistakable atmosphere. Run tightly as a close-knit operation, the squad prides itself on family values, hard work and doing things properly — on and off the track.
That spirit is reflected in its rider line-up. Scottish firebrand John Adamson brings flair, fearlessness and Arenacross experience aboard the Fantic XXF 450, while Sunderland’s Carlton Husband adds proven outdoor pedigree and raw determination as he tackles the indoor challenge for the first time.
New to Arenacross but fully committed, Phoenix Tools Fantic enters 2026 ready to race hard, entertain the crowd and prove that sometimes the boldest moves deliver the biggest rewards.
