BSB – coming to Croft very soon

In a couple of weeks time, the British Superbike Championship and support racers arrive at Croft Circuit. The circuit consistently ranks as one of the riders favourites due to it being very fast and also technical in nature. Croft circuit features one of the slowest corners of all UK circuits which makes bike setup a real challenge and spectators can view the riders hustling their bikes from the banked viewing areas available at two of the best corners.

The weekend promises to be one of the best yet judging by the quality of the races at both Brands Hatch and Oulton Park. Croft ticket sales have been strong so far and the BSB event is one of Croft Circuits highest attended events (it’s always a close run thing between British Touring Cars and the British Super Bikes Championship).

This is now the second year of the Croft Supporters Club, with membership and support increasing month by month. Membership forms can be downloaded directly from this website (click here) or collected from the main Croft Circuit office.

Tickets and details about the Croft BSB weekend can be found by contacting Croft Circuit directly or via their website www.croftcircuit.co.uk
