The 2019 Bennetts British Superbike championship calendar has been published with a major change in the replacement of the Brands Hatch Indy round for a second event at Donington Park.
2019 will mark some of the biggest calendar changes seen in recent years for BSB including the debut of the National circuit layout at Donington Park which will host the third round as a triple-header before a shorter mid-season break.
With the Silverstone National circuit returning, after debuting this year, the Northamptonshire circuit hosts the BSB season opener (April 19-21) for the first time since 2016.
The first Oulton Park trip has been pushed forward to round two on the first May Bank Holiday (May 4-6) before a three-week gap to the new Donington Park round on the National circuit – taking the slot recently held by World Superbikes at the Leicestershire circuit.
The new Donington Park round (May 24-26) crosses over with the start of the Isle of Man TT (May 25 – June 7) which could provide teams who compete in both BSB and Road Racing with a logistical headache as the two events crossover.
The 2019 BSB campaign resumes at Brands Hatch GP on June 14-16 before the traditional summer rounds at Knockhill (June 28-30), Snetterton (July 12-14), Thruxton (August 2-4) and Cadwell Park (August 16-18).
Oulton Park returns as the BSB Showdown decider with a triple header (September 6-8).
The traditional three round Showdown remains with Assen (September 20-22) hosting the opening round before heading back to Donington Park on the Grand Prix circuit (October 4-6) with the finale at Brands Hatch GP (October 18-20).
