The 2008 British Superbike Championship season was scheduled to begin on April 6, 2008, however snow at Brands Hatch forced the abandonment of the day's races, which were later rescheduled.[1] The series was rescheduled to start on April 20 and end on October 12, 2008. Starting with this season the championship will have a single tyre supplier. Pirelli beat Dunlop to sign a 3 year deal.[2] For the 2008 season the engine configuration regulations have been changed in parallel with those of the World Superbike Championship, to permit the racing of 1200 cc V-twins against 1000 cc four-cylinder machines.[3]
