BSB 2009 Round 8 - Brands Hatch #2 August

In sweltering summer heat the "Big Brands Bash" took place at everyone's favourite circuit, Brands Hatch over the weekend of August 8th and 9th. For the first time the Superbike championship had a 3 race format giving excellent value for money to the fans, plus a fantastic display on and off track of the legends of bike racing from the past including appearances by Giacomo Agostini who rode Yamahas and MV Agustas in front of the 53,000 fans. Also showing this race was the championship's new sponsor MCE Insurance including their mascot Big Ed who put on a brilliant display in the heat wearing a full leather suit. (see more)

Airwaves Yamaha's Leon Camier broke Niall Mackenzie's record from 1997 to take the most race wins in a BSB season, by winning the third race of the day, a victory which also marked a momentous occasion for the GSE Racing team as they have now secured 100 race wins in the superbike class. Can anyone catch Camier and the blue and white Yamaha R1? Cadwell is next up over the bank holiday weekend so take the excellent ride up there with a tent and a tray of beers. Sit back, apply sun cream and chill out in possibly the most exciting spectacle of the season. (see less)
