The Canadian Superbike schedule has been announced for 2018, with five race weekends on the schedule.
The season once again starts at Shannonville, and Grand Bend is back on the schedule this year as well. Then it’s off to St-Eustache, then Shubenacadie, and things close down at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park as usual.
Once again, the Shubenacadie round will be a double-header, giving the racers more motivation to head east for the Nova Scotia round. The round at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is also a double-header, as usual.
As we said earlier this year, each round will feature two races in the new Lightweight class, which replaces the Ninja 300 class. It’s the same idea, but now Yamaha, Honda, KTM and anyone else with an entry-level sportbike can enter as well.
See the full race schedule below. The full CSBK press release is here.
Race 1: Shannonville, May 25-27
Race 2: Grand Bend, June 8-10
Race 3: St-Eustache, June 29-July 1
Race 4, 5: Atlantic Motorsport Park, July 19-22
Race 6: Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport), Aug. 10-12
We need the tracks out west to step up so this can get back to being a true National Series and not an Eastern Series!
