While the 2013 World Superbike calendar is still provisional, with a definite calendar expected to be released during next month’s Aragon round, both Imola and Silverstone have confirmed they will be hosting their respective events.
The Imola is listed as still ’subject to contract’, however the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari has already announced ticket sales for the June 30th event.
The Silverstone round was already confirmed, but it hit the rumor mill late last month because it seemed that that the British circuit was in financial difficulties and unable to meet the sanctioning fees and it would be replaced by Istanbul Park, however Silverstone has confirmed that they will be hosting their round as scheduled on August 2-4 and tickets are on sale.
According to crash.
net, Istanbul is now tipped to take the June 23rd date that is listed as ‘to be announced’, however the British wesbite says sources close to the circuit have said that a September date is more likely, which could be slotted between the Nurburgring and Laguna Seca rounds that are respectively scheduled for September 1st and September 29th.
