The 2021 Bennetts British Superbike Championship calendar was revised today to enable more spectators to attend its 25th anniversary season.
Due to the uncertainty that still characterizes whether spectators can or cannot participate in motorbike events, the BSB’s organization decided to updated the 2021 calendar and postpone the start of the season beyond mid-June.
As a consequence, the opening round of the 2021 Bennetts British Superbike Championship will now take place on 25-27 June at Oulton Park, a month later than previously planned.
The other events due to take place prior to 21 June, at Thruxton and Snetterton respectively, have also been rescheduled. The Hampshire circuit now hosts the fourth round on 30 July – 1 August and the Norfolk venue moves to 3-5 September. Meanwhile the first visit to Donington Park and the second visit to Oulton Park will both move back a week from the previous schedule, taking place on 13-15 August and 24-26 September respectively.
The official test programme will now begin at Silverstone (28/29 April), with the original opening test of the season at Donington Park switching to 8 June. Due to the opening two tests taking place under Step 2 of the Government roadmap, these will be held behind closed doors, with a limited number of fans expected to be welcomed back for the final two tests ahead of the 2021 season opener.
Bennetts British Superbike Championship Series Director Stuart Higgs commented the decision: “we have made decisive changes to the calendar to deliver the best opportunity for this to happen as we look ahead positively to our 25th Anniversary year.”
