British Superbikes at Oulton Park

May 3rd - 5th 2008

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.

Oulton Park lies next to Little Budworth and is signposted from the cross-over of the A54 and A49. From the north, take the A556 to Chester and then join the A49. From the south, take junction 18 off the M6 and then the A54 to Chester. Regular mainline rail services operate to Crewe and Chester from London Euston.

Come and see us on the Clinton Enterprise stand for the latest merchandise from the British Superbikes range for the ‘08 season

Thruxton will be the first BSB race of 2008 due to heavy snow leading to the traditional Brands Hatch opening race – and of course Clinton Enterprises will be there.

The track at Thruxton has been used for motorsport since 1950. In fact, 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 Bennetts British Superbike calendar and one which 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.

Sean Emmett will be back on the Bennetts British Superbike grid at Thruxton this weekend, replacing Steve Plater in the AIM Yamaha team, in addition to competing in the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup. Emmett will be joining the team at Thruxton this weekend as Plater is competing with the GMT94 Yamaha in the Le Mans 24-hour event.

The Killalane Road Races first took place in 1984, and were the first races organized by the Loughshinny Motorcycle Supporters Club. The Killalane Road Races have taken over from the Carrowdore as the last road race of the Irish season, which means that exciting racing is ensured as the competitors’ battle it out for a result which could net them a championship win.

In it’s short history, some of the top names have ridden a Killalane including Joey and Robert Dunlop, Mark Farmer, Steve Cull, Sam McClements, Phillip McCallen, Dave Leach, James Courtney and Owen McNally.

The Course is almost side by side with the Skerries 100 circuit and actually uses about 100 meters of the same road. 2.3miles long, the Margaretstown track is even narrower than the Skerries circuit in places, and at one section you will find a tree in the middle of the road!

The Killalane Road Races is an emerging event, which is catching the Skerries 100 up in the amount of spectators it attracts. If you fancy some brilliant Pure Road Racing to end your motorcycle season, why not try the Killalane, which takes place this year on September 8th/9th and remember to vist the Clinton Enterprises stand when you’re there.
