Oulton BSB: Facts, statistics and pub ammo

Stats, facts and more stuff to amaze your friends ahead of this weekend’s Oulton Park Bennetts British Superbike round

Oulton Park has held at least one round of the British Superbike Championship every year since 1996, a total of 111 races.

Those 111 races have seen 33 different race winners and 47 different riders stand on the podium – both of these figures are the highest for any BSB circuit.

With three wins at Silverstone, Glenn Irwin became just the ninth rider to score a hat-trick of victories in a single BSB race weekend after Ryuichi Kiyonari, Tommy Hill, Shane Byrne, Josh Brookes, Leon Haslam, Scott Redding, Jason O’Halloran and Tarran Mackenzie.

Irwin’s victories gave Honda their first treble since Kiyonari in 2010.

This is the second time in three years that Irwin and Honda Racing have led the championship after the opening round.

It’s also the second year in a row that a rider has won all three races at the opening round, Jason O;Halloran achieving the feat in 2021.

Dan Linfoot will make his 250th BSB race start in the opening race of the weekend at Oulton.
