The 2019 Bennetts British Superbike Championship calendar has been announced and it's quite the shake up. Here's those all important dates for your diary, including details on where and when the official test days will be taking place.
For the first time since 2004 the season will get underway at Silverstone, with BSB bosses favouring the 1.6-mile national layout over the Grand Prix circuit - following the thrilling racing it produced in this year's Showdown decider.
We then head to Oulton Park on the May Bank Holiday weekend, before making our first visit of two to Donington Park. Up first it's the national circuit with the GP circuit now being used later in the year as a Showdown round.
The summer round of Brands Hatch will now be early in June before we head off to Snetterton, Thruxton and Cadwell Park. The final six Showdown contenders will then be decided in Cheshire at Oulton Park.
TT Circuit Assen will now be the first Showdown round of the season, followed by Donington Park GP, before ending the season on the inaugural Brands Hatch GP circuit at the end of October.
