WWW.BRANDSHATCH.CO.UK - 16/17/18 OCTOBER 2020 05 BENNETTS WELCOME GET MORE FROM VINCE CHANEY MOTORCYCLING MANAGING DIRECTOR The final round is here already. We waited so long for the action to begin and then five events and 15 races have just flown by. While 2020 has been a challenging year for us all in some way, shape or form, everyone at Bennetts has been hugely impressed with the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this year. That may sound like an obvious statement, what with eight different winners from 15 races so far this year and a top four separated by just 19 points going into the final. But we’re really impressed with the incredible amount of work and effort that has gone on behind the scenes to make it all happen in a way that is as safe as possible. Bennetts’ association with the championship is not just a sponsorship, but a partnership. Throughout lockdown, Stuart Higgs and his team always maintained close contact with us to explore many different options to make this year’s championship as exciting, engaging and accessible as possible for people at home. One example being just this week, we hosted a Zoom Q&A session where Bennetts Rewards customers were able to send in their questions for the championship contenders. Bennetts BSB has been a welcome tonic for many of us at the weekends. The frustrations of not being able to witness the action firsthand helped remedied by the incredible coverage by Eurosport and ITV4 or the excellent team from BSB radio, bringing the action to life with words. IT’S NOT JUST On behalf of everyone at Bennetts, I would like to congratulate every single person ABOUT THE RIDE... involved in the championship, both on- and off-track, in helping to create such an entertaining season against an incredibly difficult backdrop.
