Bennetts will maintain its title sponsorship of the British
Superbike Championship after agreeing a multi-year partnership
renewal with series promotor MotorSport Vision Racing (MSVR), for a
further three years (2023 - 2025).
The motorcycle insurance specialist has reaffirmed its commitment
to the sport, riders, teams and race fans as title partner of the
country's leading motorsport series, as the new
partnership takes the collaboration into its
12th year.
Bennetts first became title sponsor of the BSB series from 2005 to
2008. Sponsors of BSB race teams in the interim, Bennetts then
returned as title sponsors in 2018, making the UK-based specialist
motorcycle insurance broker the most dedicated title sponsor in the
Championship's history.
The eleven round Championship will continue to feature the
Bennetts brand, which has become widely recognised by UK fans
trackside and synonymous with the extensive live and highlights
coverage broadcast on Eurosport and free-to-air Quest
channels.
This new partnership means
Bennetts customers and
BikeSocial members can look forward to even more
exclusive experiences at every round of the Championship.
Together, Bennetts and the Championship will continue to deliver
unique customer, fan engagement, rider training and track day
events across the country throughout the season.
From pre-race grid walks, safety car and pillion laps to VIP pit
boxes, pit lane tours and hospitality, more new Bennetts BSB
experiences will be announced. Attending an event as a
Bennetts customer guarantees getting closer to the BSB action,
offering an immersive experience for thousands of Bennetts
customers and BSB fans.
Vince Chaney, Managing Director of Bennetts, commented: "Bennetts
association with MSVR and the Bennetts British Superbike
Championship is a brilliant demonstration of our commitment to the
motorcycling community and supports our mission to help
motorcyclists get more from motorcycling. We are really excited and
proud to be announcing that we will be continuing as title sponsor
for another 3 years.
"Bennetts customers and BikeSocial members enjoyed over
11,000 fantastic Bennetts BSB experiences in
2022 and we're aiming to give 80,000 more over
the next 3 seasons."
Bennetts British Superbike Championship Series Director Stuart
Higgs commented: "I am obviously delighted to announce the extended
title partnership and this renewal further strengthens Bennetts'
association with the series.
"This new agreement until the end of the 2025 season with Bennetts
takes our title sponsorship partnership into eight consecutive
seasons, and a total of 12 since their first association back in
2005.
"Together we continue to strengthen our relationship to offer
unparalleled activation opportunities and raise brand awareness,
which has made Bennetts synonymous with the incredible spectacle of
BSB."
The Bennetts British Superbike Championship kicks off the 2023
season with the opening official test taking place at the Circuito
de Navarra (11-13 March). The circuit in Northern Spain joined the
MotorSport Vision portfolio of circuits last month and has
previously hosted a World Superbike Championship round.
The Bennetts BSB teams and riders then return to the UK for the
final two pre-season official tests at Donington Park (25/26 March)
and Silverstone (28/29 March).
The first racing action of the new season comes from Silverstone
(7-9 April) with a further ten rounds held at popular circuits
across the country ending with the season finale at Brands Hatch
(13-15 October).
