The iconic Bennetts British Superbike Championship returns this weekend, 8–10 August 2025, to its high‑speed home at Thruxton Circuit, marking Round 6 of an electrifying national series.
Known as the “fastest circuit in the UK”, the 2.356‑mile track promises blistering pace and edge‑of‑your‑seat action as racers push machines to 200 mph mere millimetres apart.
Title contenders and storyline intrigue
With Round 5 wrapped at Brands Hatch, Bradley Ray leads the standings aboard the Raceways Yamaha, but Kyle Ryde and Tommy Bridewell trail just behind, promising fierce rivalry over the weekend. Tommy Bridewell, riding for Honda Racing UK, carries local interest and experience to Thruxton after strong runs all season.
Glenn Irwin, aboard the Hager PBM Ducati, continues to chase valuable points following his third‑place finish in 2024 and runner‑up finish the season before. He brings pace and consistency into this high‑stakes encounter.
Weekend debut adds an extra twist
A headline newcomer this round is former Grand Prix racer Danny Webb, stepping in for Lewis Rollo with Sencat by Swan Racing Aprilia. Webb will make his BSB debut on the demanding Thruxton layout—no small task for a rider returning to domestic competition after World Championship experience in Moto3 and endurance racing.
What fans can expect
Fans will gather for three full days of world‑class support racing—featuring categories such as British Supersport and National Superstock—alongside on‑track thrills that only British Superbikes can deliver.
Thruxton also lays on a diverse mix of off‑track attractions. Expect classic bike exhibits, supercar displays, exhilarating stunt shows from Two Brothers Racing in the skid pan, live music evenings at The Thruxton Centre, and a lively trade village packed with merchandise and accessories.
