British Superbikes at Oulton Park: our home round

Oulton Park is our home circuit — close enough that we can hear practice from the yard on a still morning. The British Superbike round is the weekend the place comes properly alive, and it is one of the few circuits where you can still stand at the fence and feel a superbike change direction underneath you.

For us it is a working weekend as much as a spectator one. Several of the track bikes in our care are stored here between events, and we deliver them directly to the paddock, prepared and ready for the session, collecting them again afterwards if required.

Lodge Corner on race day, with the field packed through the right-hander, is worth the trip on its own. We met clients, looked over a number of machines that will likely come to market in the next few years, and came away with the usual notebook full of chassis numbers and half-promises.
