The World Superbike Championship has not had a round in Germany since it was at Lausitzring in 2017… and that could be about to change. At least, BMW has expressed its intention in that direction.
The manufacturer aims to become one of the dominant forces in the field, aspiring to titles with Toprak Razgatlioglu. According to GPOne.com, it seeks the inclusion of Hockenheim on the calendar. Currently, this year’s round in Hungary is in doubt, and BMW management has reportedly suggested this alternative to the WSBK organization.
However, it is not until 2025 that Germany is expected to return to the calendar, with Estoril appearing as a seemingly stronger option if Hungary fails. Hockenheim is primarily associated with car races, but it was part of WSBK from 1988 to 2000. Afterward, two more tracks in Germany hosted the championship: Nürburgring and Lausitzring.
