2008 British Superbike Championship

The 2008 British Superbike Championship season was scheduled to begin on 6 April 2008; however, snow at Brands Hatch forced the abandonment of the day's races, which were later rescheduled.[1] The series was rescheduled to start on 20 April and end on 12 October 2008.

Starting with this season the championship has a single tyre supplier.

Pirelli beat Dunlop to sign a three-year deal.[2]

For the 2008 season the engine configuration regulations were changed in parallel with those of the World Superbike Championship, to permit the racing of 1200 cc V-twins against 1000 cc four-cylinder machines.[3]
