Donington Park will be able to host next weekend's third British Superbike round after it was granted a track licence from the MCRCB today following an inspection by Dennis Carter and Norman Williamson.

It was feared the track would not be declared safe after barriers put up at the McLeans section forced the cancellation of several car races at the Leicestershire circuit in recent weeks.

However, after the inspection today, the MCRCB has confirmed to race director Stuart Higgs that after recent extensive remedial works carried out by Donington Park, the circuit is acceptable and an event permit will now be issued to series organisers, MSVR.

Jonathan Palmer, Chief Executive of BSB Commercial and Organisational rights holder MSVR said: “I am pleased that MCRCB has been able to grant the necessary licence and permit, and with the BSB championship producing some of the closest racing ever in 2009 we can now look forward to an exciting next round at Donington over the Bank Holiday weekend.”
