Celebrating 1000 WorldSBK Races: A Historic Milestone and Exclusive Merchandise Drop
This weekend, the Motul FIM Superbike World Championship reaches a monumental milestone: its 1000th race. A journey that began in 1988 has grown into one of the most thrilling and competitive motorcycle racing series in the world—and now, at the Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary, WorldSBK will make history once again.

These are not just items of clothing they’re pieces of motorsport history.

A Thousand Races, a Thousand Memories
Milestones like this don’t come often, especially in motorsport. The 1000th WorldSBK race is more than just a statistic; it’s a symbol of decades of engineering, courage, and global fandom.
From the very first race at Donington Park in 1988 to this weekend’s landmark event at Balaton Park, every lap has counted, every champion has inspired, and every fan has played a part.
Since its debut, WorldSBK has delivered heart-pounding racing and unforgettable rivalries across the globe. The championship has evolved from its early days—featuring legends like Carl Fogarty or Troy Bayliss—to the modern era of high-performance machines and fierce battles between riders like Jonathan Rea and Toprak Razgatlıoğlu.
Each race has contributed to the legacy, but reaching race number 1000 is an achievement that deserves a celebration of its own. From classic Rounds still disputed as Phillip Island, Assen, Misano or Donington Park to past locations like Monza, Brands Hatch or Imola to exciting new additions like Balaton Park, WorldSBK has captured the passion of fans worldwide.
This weekend’s event isn't just another stop on the calendar. It's a tribute to 36 years of incredible racing, innovation, and community. And for the fans who’ve been there through it all… or are just discovering the thrill of WorldSBK!
