Dates and venues for the 2012 Ducati 848 Challenge have now been announced with a calendar incorporating some of the best circuits worldwide. The Challenge will consist of eight rounds and sixteen races, kicking off at the British Superbikes Brands Hatch opening on the 6th, 7th, 8th April before returning to Assen on the 11th, 12th, 13th May. The series will then make its first visit to the Snetterton 300 circuit, before heading to Misano and the famous World Ducati Week.
An equally exciting second half of the season sees Championship race events taking place at Oulton Park, Cadwell Park and Donington Park for the very first time, before a season finale at Ducati UK’s home circuit, Silverstone on the 29th, 30th September.
2012 sees the Ducati 848 Challenge heading into its third year as a firmly established one-make series; 2011 saw some breathtakingly exciting racing- and 2012 promises to give this and more. Once again, the Championship winner will receive an 848EVO, the runner up- a full set of Ducati riding gear and third place- a set of Ducati leathers.
Neil Hodgson shall take the Series Ambassador position, on hand to mentor younger riders and offer knowledge and advice to more experienced competitors.
