The provisional calendar for the World Superbike Championship hasn’t been released yet, but American fans can start planning their pilgrimage to Laguna Seca, as the sole US round has secured its racing weekend. Hosting WSBK July 17th thru July 19th, Laguna Seca is once again host to the premier production racing class.

“We continue to be pleased with the growth of the fan base for the Series,” said Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca CEO & General Manager Gill Campbell. “With the continuation of GEICO as title sponsor, it seems clear that the U.S. motorcycle industry also sees this as an important event in which to reach out to their enthusiasts.”

This year’s round, the second of WSBK’s return to Laguna Seca, saw an increase in fans, with roughly 50,000 fans in attendance throughout the weekend. That number still pales in comparison to the draw that MotoGP brought to the venue, but shows that there is life in the Monterey track yet.

With MotoAmerica racing that weekend as well in Laguna Seca, as a support class, American fans are sure to be treated to plenty of good racing. Tickets for the event go on sale in December, and can be found at mazdaraceway.com or via telephone at 1-800-327-7322.
