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. 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. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or season:
“When a man wants to write a book full of unassailable facts, he always goes to the British Museum.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“When we reached the lake, about half past eight in the evening, it was still steadily raining, and harder than before; and, in that fresh, cool atmosphere, the hylodes were peeping and the toads ringing about the lake universally, as in the spring with us. It was as if the season had revolved backward two or three months, or I had arrived at the abode of perpetual spring.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
