Donington will host round 10 of the 12-round BSB series, with plenty still to play for as the championship enters the exciting ‘Showdown’ phase when the top six riders battle it out for the final laurels.
“We had to reduce our original calendar to ensure we comply with noise restrictions,” confirmed Donington Park chairman, Kevin Wheatcroft. “Although we have applied to the local authorities to amend the conditions and allow mor e racing at Donington Park, we need to await the outcome.”

The British Superbike championship looks to be heading for another thrilling climax and we’re delighted that the Donington round will be the start of the final three-round ‘Showdown’ phase.”
