British Superbike


All those assurances about the Formula 1 race definitely happening must be, err, lost on the internet somewhere because Donington Park has not only lost the F1 and MotoGP plots but also now the British Superbike championship.
Donington Park, one of the circuits on the BSB calendar which wasn't owned by Jonathan Palmer/MSVR, entered into administration last month. 2009 saw several race meetings cancelled and, according to organisers MSVR, the BSB round was only confirmed as going ahead just eight days before the event, which was "quite unsatisfactory" and "clearly unacceptable for the teams, series organisers and spectators."
So Donington is out and Croft circuit gratefully comes back on the September 10/11/12th weekend. Cadwell Park also benefits for a second bank holiday bonanza on May 21/22/23 (which joins its traditional August holiday meeting).
MSVR Chief Executive Jonathan Palmer said; “It is very important for the teams, our broadcast and commercial partners and above all the fans that we prepare a calendar consisting of venues where there is no doubt about whether or not the event will actually take place. The prospect of a second event at Cadwell Park in May will I'm sure be great news for the many thousands of fans that already flock to the August Bank Holiday meeting.”
