The British Superbikes Championship season starts this weekend, with Silverstone hosting the return of the competition and the first of 11 rounds for the 2022 campaign.
Three practice sessions have been held at Snetterton, Donington Park and - last weekend - Silverstone itself ahead of the main event starting this time around, with Brands Hatch and Oulton Park among the other venues to host races across the year between now and October.
Tarran Mackenzie triumphed last year, sealing a stunning win in the penultimate race of 2021 and both he and Tommy Bridewell will be hoping for glory this time around.
As well as the Superbikes, a host of other races and competitions will be on show at Silverstone across the course of the three-day weekend.
