Visitors to Wiltshire circuit, Castle Combe, in the early part of this season may have noticed an extra bit of sparkle to the classic venue.

SBK Round 3 – Donington – 1 April 2007 – Race Review
02 April 2007
We expected it to be cold at Donington in late March and the weather did not miss its cue. We did not get three days of rain but the cold and a biting wind were in evidence throughout, for what was a vastly expanded Superbike paddock this weekend. The first day of practice and qualifying was of particular significance for the Supersport class, as the Yamaha Supersport Racing Team had both their riders ruled out with broken collarbones, while Sebastien Charpentier (Hannspree Honda Ten Kate) hurt his collarbone and pelvis, making it three top championship contenders out before the start of round three. In SBK Bayliss was the Superpole winner, and at record pace, even if the conditions were not ideal. A crash on his timed lap stopped Corser from challenging for another pole win, but he was fully fit to race.
