The British Superbike Championship is something of an institution amongst racing fans, who attend in their thousands to see their favourite riders go head-to-head in fierce on-track battles. This year’s brightest new star, Spaniard Gregorio Lavilla, began this year’s campaign as a ‘stand-in’ rider for Honda’s injured James Haydon. He went on to claim six victories and five second places in eleven outings, earning him the title in remarkable fashion. Exciting twists and turns like this mean the 13 round series has been dubbed the best national bike championship in the world, and now fans can relive this year’s entire season in one go with the release of British Superbike Championship2005 Review on DVD and VHS.
This year’s series was always going to be unpredictable and the stage was set for a thoroughly exciting season. The injury and subsequent retirement of reigning champion John Reynolds and Yukio Kagayama’s move to the World Superbike Championship left a highly coveted gap in the line up of favourites for the 2005 title. New kid on the block 2004 Supersport Champion Karl Harris was out to make a name for himself, alongside MotoGP star Jeremy McWilliams and TT winner John McGuinness. But old favourites Sean Emmett, Michael Rutter and Scott Smart weren’t going to give in without a fight, and neither were up and coming names Leon Haslam and Ryuichi Kiyonari, who maintained good placings throughout the 11 rounds.
This official review delivers hard-fought, knee-scraping, high-tension action from one of the mostcompetitive national bike series in the world. It brings to life all the drama and action with the besttrackside and on-bike camera footage plus interviews and background info.
