The 2024 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, and for the first time into Spain, 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, and for the first time, there will be a race at Navarro in Spain.
For each round in 2024, 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.
The 2024 Bennetts BSB Title Showdown will continue with the 2023 points’ system.
The top fifteen riders after a race will 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.
