Moto GB have confirmed the final Supermoto calendar for 2006, after implementing revisions to provisional dates issued last October. The congested fixture lists of leading British circuits have been modified due to alterations within F1, TOCA, MotoGP, and BSB schedules, leading to consequential Moto GB date revisions.

Southern Supermoto and the National Off-road Racing Association (NORA) each have only one date change, whilst the Motorcycle Racing Organisation (MRO) have some notable differences to their original schedule, which includes the confirmation of previous ‘TBA’ venues.

The Scottish round of the 2006 Moto GB British Supermotard Championship, organised by MRO, has been announced and features a welcome mid-season diversion from conventional racing circuits. The superbly located Royal Highland Showground at Ingliston, just outside Edinburgh, is confirmed as the venue. Races will be run over the weekend in association with the hugely successful ‘Fast and Modified’ car show, ensuring that thousands of new spectators to Supermoto racing witness all the action at close quarters. Visit the ‘Fast and Modified’ website at www.fastandmodified.com

The provisionally scheduled stand-alone championship prologue, however, will now be filmed during the first round of the series at Cadwell Park on 21st May, whilst other revisions relate merely to date changes at larger circuits.

Competitors have quickly recognised the cost saving benefits of the Moto GB alliance, together with a fantastic choice of events for 2006, and this has prompted Moto GB licence applications to reach record levels at this point pre-season.
