Donington Park is the birthplace of the Superbike World Championship in its current form. The very first race took place at the circuit in Leicestershire in 1988. Davide Tardozzi became the first winner, riding a Bimota.
When the production-based World Championship returns to Donington from 12 to 14 July, four weeks will have passed since the round at the Misano World Circuit – but the actual summer break follows immediately after the eighth race weekend, and at eight weeks, it is twice as long! For the teams and riders in the new World Sportbike Championship, the break is actually three months, as the successor series to the discontinued 300cc World Championship is not taking place at Donington.
Alongside the Superbike and Supersport categories, the WorldWCR Women’s World Championship and the R3 World Cup will also be on the grid. So there’ll be no shortage of action on the 4,023-metre track.

The schedule largely follows the main timetable, at least as far as the key sessions are concerned. The main races of the Superbike World Championship will round off the weekend on Saturday and Sunday at 15:30 – although a one-hour time difference must be taken into account. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the races will start at 4.30 pm.

Before the start of the season, critical voices dominated, but the World Championship rounds so far have shown that the rule changes are delivering exactly what was hoped for: excitement right up to the final lap.
