A few weeks after hosting the Superbike World Championship, the Assen circuit has been renewed until 2031. This guarantees the long-term future of the “Cathedral” on the calendar.
The Dutch round is a success among riders and fans – as evidenced by the 56,734 people who attended live over the three days this year. There are several Dutch riders in the paddock, including Michael van der Mark in the main category, WSBK.
Since 1992, Assen has hosted the championship, only missing out in 2020 due to the pandemic – although it was part of the original calendar. Now, the renewal until 2031 means it will host WSBK consecutively for almost four decades.
Gregorio Lavilla, CEO of WSBK, stated: ‘We are proud to announce the continuation of the TT Circuit Assen as a base venue on the WorldSBK calendar until 2031. The TT Circuit Assen, with its rich history and exciting races, remains an essential part of the WorldSBK tradition. We are excited to continue providing remarkable competition experiences to our fans‘.
Meanwhile, the president of the Assen circuit, Arjan Bos, commented: ‘The WorldSBK is such an important event on our calendar. Because of the constant interaction with fans, young and old, we can continue to grow our fan base for motorsport in general. The Superbike World Championship is always highly appreciated by riders and the public. We are very proud to continue as the venue for this great event‘.
