Legendary racer Giacomo Agostini will be at the Brands Hatch British Superbike round to ride some demonstration laps aboard his iconic MV Agusta and Yamaha race bikes.
Agostini will ride the500-3 MV Agusta and an OW31 TZ750 Yamaha and will be joined on track by multiple World Champion Phil Read. BSB fans will also experience the ear-piercing sound of a complete collection of Grand Prix Hondas, including the 250cc-6, 350cc-4 and Mike Hailwood's 500cc-4.
Multiple TT winner and British Champion Mick Grant will lap the circuit on his 1970s MCN Superbike Kawasaki 750cc-3, plus there will be factory RG500 GP Suzukis and Randy Mamola's Cagiva factory 500cc GP machine.
In addition to the on track laps on Saturday and Sunday, the complete collection will be on display throughout the weekend and there will be opportunities for fans to meet Agostini and Read when they join the current BSB stars for official autograph sessions.
This round will also be a landmark occasion in British Superbike Championship history, as it becomes the first BSB event with three BSB races rather than the usual two, with the first taking place on Saturday following qualifying.
In addition to the three BSB races during the weekend there will be eight races from the six support championships including a round of the International Classic Grand Prix series. The British Superbike Championship arrives at Brands Hatch on 7/8/9 August for one of the biggest events in its history. Advance tickets start from £23 with children aged 12 and under admitted free.
