Fan parade laps and track days promised as part of new 2026 BSB deal

New parade laps and track days are set to be introduced as part of a new BSB partnership.

Motorcycle insurance firm Bennetts announced earlier in January that it would be departing its position as BSB title sponsor ahead of the 2026 season. The championship has since announced that it has partnered with insurance broker Carole Nash to sponsor the series as its official insurance partner from 2026.

While this doesn’t mean Carole Nash will be the series title sponsor, the new partnership is set to bring new fan activities to the track. These include new ‘Carole Nash – BSB Track Days by MSVT’ events which are due to take place on dates between April and September on four of the championship’s venues: Oulton Park, Donington Park, Brands Hatch, and Cadwell Park.

Additionally, the partnership will deliver parade laps for fans arriving at the circuit on two wheels at select rounds, as well as pillion rides, safety car laps, and VIP grid walks and hospitality experiences.

“I am delighted to welcome Carole Nash as our exclusive official insurance partner of the British Superbike Championship as we celebrate our landmark 30th anniversary season this year,” said British Superbike Championship Series Director Stuart Higgs.

“We look forward to working together with Carole Nash to deliver this new partnership, ensuring that their customers have some of the best experiences BSB has to offer throughout the 2026 season.”

Daniel Nield, Associate Director at Carole Nash, added: “We are thrilled to be the official insurance partner of the British Superbike Championship. The series plays an important role in the racing calendar, and we’re proud to support the riders and teams as the Championship celebrates its 30th anniversary, while giving our customers the chance to experience the thrill of track riding. 

“We look forward to working with BSB to deliver a memorable and successful season ahead.”
