Thruxton - 28 - 30 MAY
	Originally built in 1940 as RAF Thruxton, it was decommissioned in 1946 and from 1950 it was used for motorsport. Motorcycling was the first sport to be staged there, with four-wheeled racing commencing from 1952. Thruxton is one of the fastest circuits on the British Superbike calendar and one that has hosted events as varied as World Endurance motorcycles, European F2 cars and trucks. The demands of the circuit range from the long, fast straights and flowing corners to tight, demanding Complex and Chicane sections. For tickets to this event

KNOCK HILL - 17 - 19 JUNE
	Knockhill Racing Circuit in Fife is Scotland's national Motorsport centre. The circuit is located in the countryside about 10 miles north of Dunfermline. The track, initially opened in 1974, is 1.3 miles long and was created by joining service roads to a nearby disused railway.

SNETTERTON 300 - 01 - 03 JUL
	The XR1200 round at Snetterton is one of the fastest on the calendar. Lots of slipstreaming followed by heavy braking means that there are always plenty of overtaking opportunities at Snetterton. For sheer speed the long Revett Straight provides amazing slip-streaming action prior to the left-right flick through the Esses and the Bomb Hole where extensive works have been carried out in terms of run-off area. Major investments have been made in the facilities for both competitors and spectators under the progressive management of the MotorSport Vision group.

OULTON PARK - 15 - 17 JUL
	With a long sporting tradition on both two and four wheels this picturesque circuit has staged some of the great motorsport events with the Grand Prix stars of the day riding in TransAtlantic Challenge motorcycle races and Gold Cup car action. Full of challenges it has also provided some of the more controversial - not forgetting some of the best - moments in British Superbike action. Refinements and added run-off areas have made for safer action. Tight and twisty, this is a circuit of character which also has long fast straights. Knickerbrook and the final Lodge Corner leading to Deer Leap are key sections.

BRANDS HATCH - 05 - 07 AUG

On two wheels the World Superbike Championship has attracted enormous crowds to Kent.

CADWELL PARK - 27 - 29 AUG
	Nestling in undulating Lincolnshire countryside this picturesque circuit always attracts the biggest crowd of the Superbike year. It is a tight, narrow and twisting circuit which offers riders little room for error. It has real character, with the bikes momentarily airborne as they crest the 'Mountain' section. Over the years, it has seen many of motorcycle racing's greats in action, and continues to provide one of the major challenges for the competitors in the fight for the British crown.

DONINGTON PARK - 09 - 11 SEP
	Donington Park first opened its gates in 1931, initially for motorcycle racing and then two years later for car action. The circuit went on to stage Grand Prix for both motorcycles and cars in the pre-war era. Donington was subsequently re-built and re-opened in 1977 and staged the British Motorcycle Grand Prix annually or more than two decades. Among other accolades, Donington Park staged the first ever round of the World Superbike championship, as well as holding the F1 Grand Prix of Europe in 1993. In the past four years the circuit has been resurfaced, while the pit complex, race control, media building and timekeepers' offices have recently been completely rebuilt in a £5million development.
