Post Ducati 848 Challenge Release 2013 Package



Ducati UK in partnership with MSVR are delighted to announce details of the 2013 Ducati 848 Challenge as the one-make series returns alongside the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship.

The calendar will comprise eight rounds at prestigious UK circuits and Assen in the Netherlands and there will be two points scoring races per round:

The prize fund will recognise the top three finishers in the championship with the overall champion awarded a £5,000 cash prize, a Ducati Panigale Superstock test and entry into the National Superstock 1000 class for 2014. The runner-up will receive an entry into the 2014 Ducati 848 Challenge, three MSV Circuit track/test days, and a Ducati leather suit, gloves and boots whilst an entry into the 2014 Ducati 848 Challenge and two MSV Circuit track/test days will be won by the third placed rider.

In order to recognise upcoming racing talent there will also be an award for the best under 23-year-old rookie*, who will win a Ducati leather suit, gloves and boots.

There will be a new leaderboard introduced for the 2013 season to recognise the involvement of the Ducati dealerships nationwide. The Overall Dealer Award will feature at each round of the Challenge and a Trophy will be presented to the leading dealer-supported entrant.

At each event along with race trophies there will also be Pirelli-supported tyre prizes awarded to the riders with the highest combined points scores from races at that round whilst Ducati will also recognise the overall round winner with a pair of Sunday hospitality passes for the following round. There will also be breakfast or lunch provided at selected rounds for 848 Challenge contestants plus guest at Ducati UK hospitality on the Saturdays of the race weekend.

The television and media package for the 2013 Ducati 848 Challenge is further enhanced with all BSB rounds receiving High Definition TV coverage including LIVE races broadcast on British Eurosport HD and British Eurosport 2 HD. A full series PR and Media service will be operated by MSVR including web, digital and print media outlets and a very active social media campaign.

MCE British Superbike Championship Series Director Stuart Higgs said: "The Ducati 848 Challenge has grown into a popular, established one-make series and this will continue into the 2013 season. Working closely with Ducati UK we have been able to offer a new, competitive package for riders, giving them the opportunity to race with an iconic manufacturer at some of the best UK circuits, plus the opportunity to feature on the Assen event programme."
