MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship
Brands Hatch (GP): 06-08 Aug 2010

It's the biggest bike racing event of the season this weekend at Brands Hatch: the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship on the GP circuit. And with a triple-header of BSB races, a wildcard appearance by WSB superstar Tom Sykes and stunning MotoGP demonstrations you definitely won't want to miss out!

The annual August spectacular gives fans the chance to witness the first BSB race on Saturday following qualifying with the usual two races following on Sunday. Rizla Suzuki star Alvaro Bautista will also perform a demo on the Grand Prix circuit on his MotoGP bike on both the Saturday and Sunday, as the Kent track celebrates the 50th year of Suzuki racing and the 25th anniversary of the GSX-R. WSB stars Leon Haslam and Sylvain Guintoli will also be present and performing demos on their Suzuki World Superbikes.

Former BSB star Tom Sykes will compete in all three British Superbike races on his factory World Superbike Kawasaki as he takes on championship contenders Josh Brookes, Tommy Hill and Ryuichi Kiyonari. The racing will be fast and furious!
