The 2014 Canadian Superbike season (the third with Mopar as the title sponsor) will be the 35th year of national Superbike racing in Canadian, the first round having been held in Edmonton in 1980.
The schedule is very similar to that of 2013, other than Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant not returning. At this point, five events at four venues have been confirmed; series organizers adding “with the possibility of one or two additional dates being added.”
In 2015, the Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship intends to return to Western Canada and Edmonton at the new Castrol Raceway road course.
The season opener at Shannonville Motorsport Park will be the 50th Superbike national to be held at the iconic track since John Nelson built it in the late 1970s. As in 2013, the year will end with a double-header at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport).
Among the riders expected to return for 2014 are 2013 champ Jordan Szoke of Brantford, Ont., who won his ninth Canadian Superbike crown in a dramatic title fight that went down to the wire, and the other 2013 race winners – Alex Welsh of Uxbridge, Ont., Jodi Christie of Keene, Ont., and Bodhi Edie of Warman, Sask.
- Race 1 – Shannonville Motorsport Park, Pro Circuit, Shannonville, Ont., June 6-8
- Race 2 – Autodrome St-Eustache, St-Eustache, Que., July 4-6
- Race 3 – Atlantic Motorsport Park, Shubenacadie, NS, July 25-27
- Races 4 & 5 – Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Bowmanville, Ont., August 15-17
Could not agree more. As current spectator, debating on this year for that eaxact reason. All need be doubles, plus that way more points up for grabs. As of right now 1 bad race means you have all but sacrificed your shot at title.
Good call guys
Would it be a huge problem to make each race a double header? Seems a lot of effort to only have 5 races in a season and there’s so much downtime at the racetrack that there’s very little interest to attend as a spectator.
I totally agree Dean!
