BSB 2019 calendar confirmed

The 2019 Bennetts British Superbike championship calendar has been formally confirmed with one alteration to last month’s provisional programme.

Following approval by BSB’s governing body, the MCRCB, the 2019 season starts at Silverstonem on the national circuit, over Easter weekend (April 19-21) before heading to Oulton Park (May 4-6) with a new triple-header round on Donington Park’s National layout (May 24-26) – the previous British World Superbike round slot - which clashes with the opening days of the Isle of Man TT.

A shorter summer break sees BSB action return at Brands Hatch GP (June 14-16) before the traditional summer rounds at Knockhill, Snetterton, Thruxton and Cadwell Park.

The Snetterton round has been moved back by one week (July 19-21).

Oulton Park returns as a triple-header to decide the BSB three-round Showdown (September 6-8), before Assen kicks off the Showdown followed by Donington Park and the finale at Brands Hatch.
