BSB 2023 - Frequently Asked Questions

How many British Superbike races are there in 2023?

The 2023 Bennetts British Superbike season will continue the triple-header format across each of the 11 rounds, so 3 x 11 = 33 races.

The action will take place around the UK at eight circuits. We visit Oulton Park, Brands Hatch (GP layout) and Donington Park twice, though while there are two trips to Donington, each of the two rounds held at the Leicestershire circuit will take place on alternative layouts; National and GP. The BSB championship once again ventures North of the Border to Knockhill, where we are sure to receive a warm welcome.

What is the BSB weekend format?

For each round in 2023, the opening day hosts two free practice sessions for the Superbike class, where the fastest 12 riders overall will be seeded directly to the Day 2 Qualifying 2 (Q2) session.

Day 2 begins with a third, shorter Superbike free practice session in the morning, followed by Qualifying 1 (Q1), where the fastest three riders will progress to join the 12 seeded riders from Day 1 as they compete for pole position for the opening Bennetts BSB race, also known as the Sprint Race, and that takes place on the afternoon of Day 2.

The third and final day of competition will feature a morning warm up and the second and third Superbike races of the weekend, both of which are slightly longer.

Will there be a BSB Showdown this year?

The 2023 Bennetts BSB Title Showdown will undergo the first major change to its format since it was introduced with an incremental points’ system, replacing the split of having designated Title Fighters.

For next season, the notion of ‘Title Fighters’ and having a ‘cut-off point’ will be scrapped in favour of a format that will see points more heavily weighted during the final events for all riders.

一如既往的前十五选手比赛后receive points but the amount will vary between Rounds 1-8, Rounds 9 and 10 and then again for the Round 11 finale, as listed below.

It will culminate in the season-ending round at Brands Hatch featuring three races with 35 points being available for the winning rider.

Rounds 1 to 8 - The Main Season

Points Structure - 18, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Rounds 10 and 11 - The Title Showdown [Oulton Park, Donington Park]

Points Structure - 25, 20, 16, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Round 12 - The Title Finale [Brands Hatch]

Points Structure - 35, 30, 27, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2
