Kawasaki secures fifth WorldSSP300 Manufacturers’ Title
With Jeffrey Buis’ (MTM Kawasaki) victory in Race 2 at MotorLand Aragon, Kawasaki has once again asserted its dominance in the WorldSSP300 class by securing its fifth Manufacturers’ Title. With an outstanding performance throughout the year, amassing a remarkable total of 306 points, Kawasaki reaffirmed its dominance in the motorcycle racing arena.A key factor in Kawasaki’s remarkable success this season has been the outstanding contributions from several key riders, who consistently delivered exceptional results. 2020 WorldSSP300 Champion and current Championship leader Jeffrey Buis, teammate Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki), Petr Svoboda (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki), Misano’s Wildcard Burno Ieraci (ProDina Kawasaki Racing), Daniel Mogeda (Kawasaki GP Project) and Jose Manuel Osuna Saez (Deza-Box 77 Racing Team) all scored crucial points for the manufacturer, contributing significantly to Kawasaki’s title.
Steve Guttridge – Race Planning Manager – Kawasaki Motors Europe, expressed their pride in this achievement, stating “There are multiple reasons for Kawasaki and fans to celebrate our fifth manufacturer title within the WorldSSP300 Championship. Four rider championships since the series was inaugurated is something we are very proud of plus over one hundred and fifty podium places. Perhaps the two things we are proudest of are the facts that WorldSSP300 is a widely recognised feeder route for riders to aspire to a Superbike ride and that this series is so closely related to the Ninja machines that fans can buy in any Kawasaki dealership. Now our goal is manufacturer title number six!”

A new circuit joins WorldSBK 2021 Calendar
The Circuito de Navarra will make its debut on the WorldSBK calendar, while the Aragon Round becomes season opener due to Estoril postponement.
9 March 2021: Due to ongoing local restrictions the FIM and Dorna WSBK Organization (DWO) confirm updates to the 2021 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, for what is set to be an exceptional season.
Following a further modification to the 2021 season, a new circuit will join the calendar as the Circuito de Navarra becomes the fifth Round of the 2021 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship. Located in Los Arcos, in the north of Spain, the Circuito de Navarra was opened in 2010 and has already hosted events for both national and international level competition. The Spanish circuit will host, from the 20th to the 22nd of August, WorldSBK and WorldSSP classes.
MotorLand Aragon will now host the opening Round of the 2021 calendar from the 21st to the 23rd of May, due to the postponement of the Estoril Round, initially scheduled to be held from the 7th to 9th of May. All parties involved are working hard to confirm a new date for the event.
With the Supported Test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya taking place in less than a month, the FIM and Dorna WSBK Organization are constantly working with Government Officials and Circuits in order to continue putting everyone’s safety first. Any further updates to the 2021 WorldSBK calendar will be communicated accordingly.
