Visitors who answered correctly were rewarded with eco-friendly gadgets, leaving not just with a prize but with a deeper understanding of the importance of sustainable behaviours in motorsport. This initiative is part of WorldSBK’s ongoing collaboration with Right Hub as we work towards achieving ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management by the end of 2024. For us, this certification represents more than a benchmark; it’s a symbol of our commitment to embedding sustainability at the core of our operations.

  • 🏍️ It was an honor to welcome Angeluss to the Acerbis Italian Round, where we provided an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at both #WorldSBK and #WorldWCR. Angeluss is a remarkable sports management company, dedicated to empowering and supporting young, talented women in the world of two wheels. Their mission perfectly aligns with WorldWCR’s values, working to make top international categories more accessible to women—not only as riders but in all the vital roles that make up a successful team. During their visit, the Angeluss riders, who compete at various levels in Italy, had the unique opportunity to familiarize themselves with the track alongside Michael Ruben Rinaldi from Motocorsa. They also received an exclusive tour of the GYTR GRT Yamaha garage, led by Pierpaolo Franceschini, offering a closer look at the incredible expertise and precision behind the racing team. The journey continued with an insightful tour of the WorldWCR paddock, where the Angeluss team explored the different elements that fuel this inspiring championship. It all culminated in a special presentation at the WorldSBK Paddock Show, where founder Aurora Angelucci shared her vision and goals. It was an incredible experience for everyone involved, showcasing our shared commitment to expanding opportunities for women in motorsports—both on and off the track. 🏁💪

  • More than £22,000 raised for Two Wheels For Life during #WorldSBK's Donington Park visit! 🇬🇧 Charity auctions and concerts helped raise a staggering amount of money to go towards the Two Wheels For Life charity. With the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship visiting Donington Park a couple of weeks ago, the British venue not only hosted thrilling on-track action but a massive fundraiser for the Two Wheels For Life charity via auctions and concerts. In total, more than £22,000 (approx. €26,000) was raised by people bidding for special memorabilia and witnessing ‘WorldSBK’s Got Talent’ as personnel from the paddock entertained the onlooking crowd. The auction allowed fans to bid on items that would not normally be available. The top item was a fairing from the Kawasaki Puccetti Racing outfit, which sold for £2,050. Next up was a Team#109 Retro Traffic Kawasaki VIP experience in 2025, which went for £2,000. An experience with KRT received a highest bid of £1,800 while, sticking with KRT, £1,200 was spent on Alex Lowes' (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) leathers. Boots from Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) sold for £1,000, while many other items raised a huge amount of money. Not only did the auction raise a substantial amount for charity, but so did the concert featuring riders, team managers and more perform in front of the fans. This year, people could vote for their favourite with Mario Salles – from the FIM Yamaha R3 bLU cRU World Cup – claiming the win with his rendition of ‘Perfect’ by Ed Sheeran ahead of Mallory Dobbs (Sekhmet Motorcycle Racing Team) from WorldWCR, who performed ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ by Shania Twain and Luke Power (Motozoo ME AIR Racing) from WorldSSP, who wowed the crowds with his interpretation of the Fast Food Song. Aside from the top three, the WorldSBK Super Troupers performed with special guest Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) joining in on the action to end the show, while Bautista, Adrian Huertas (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team) and Beatriz Neila (Ampito / Pata Prometeon Yamaha) teamed up, as did Yamaha Thailand Racing Team duo Anupab Sarmoon and Krittapat Keankum. Piotr Biesiekirski (Ecosantagata Althea Racing Team) also performed in the show.
