Cementing its place as the longest running title sponsor of the British Superbike championship, Bennetts - the motorcycle insurance specialist - has confirmed its contract extension by a further two years through to the end of the 2022 season after agreeing a new deal with series promoter MotorSport Vision Racing (MSVR).

Having supported the greatest national championship in the world from 2005 – 2008, Bennetts returned as title sponsor again in 2018 with championship wins during this latter period going to Leon Haslam, Scott Redding and then, in 2020, Josh Brookes.

Following the shortened 2020 Bennetts British Superbike season, the championship starts again in May at Oulton Park with 11 rounds of three races each, meaning the title will be fought out over 33 races. There’s a change to the Showdown too with eight who’ll make it through after 24 of the 33 races, leaving the final 9 races as the title deciders with the championship trophy being presented after the final race at Brands Hatch on October 15th -17th.
