Superbike will run at Magny-Cours until 2027. News broke this morning of the contract renewal between Dorna and the company that manages the transalpine circuit. An extension on a three-year basis that will therefore be valid for the 2025, 2026 and 2027 seasons, emphasizing the joint commitment to the continued growth and success of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship. An announcement that follows the great success of the 2023 edition where public attendance exceeded the figures recorded in the pre-pandemic era and laying the foundation for significant future growth.
"We are delighted to continue our partnership with the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours," said Gregorio Lavilla, Executive Director of WorldSBK, " The circuit has often given us beautiful moments in terms of racing and showcased the passion and affection of the French fans. This contract extension reflects our shared commitment to providing the best possible experience for both riders and spectators. We look forward to the upcoming excitement on this world-class facility."
As part of this commitment, an advanced race control room made its WorldSBK debut at the event staged in 2023. The upgrade in terms of infrastructure, including the presence of new control facilities, was made possible through a joint effort between the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours and the Department of Nievre Council, with a significant investment to preserve the circuit's homologation in Band B.
Serge Saulnier, Chairman of the Board of the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, expresses satisfaction with this contract extension: "This is the result of the close collaboration between the Dorna and Circuit de Magny-Cours teams. In this 2024 for the 22nd year we are hosting the French Round of WorldSBK, a testament to the long-standing loyalty between this Championship and Magny-Cours. Our teams, supported by the departement of La Nievre, are constantly striving to strengthen our infrastructure and ensure the safety of our competitors. We look forward towelcoming WorldSBK fans to Magny-Cours on September 6,7 and 8."
