World Superbikes heading to Russia?

The World Superbike championship is becoming more Europecentric, with only two fly away races scheduled on the 2011 calendar, Phillip Island and Miller Motorsports Parks, so the rumors that WSBK organizer Infront, is looking for new racing venues is pretty interesting news.

Infront’s CEO Maurizio Flammini, who is also trying to organize a F1 race in Rome, is looking to Russia to host one of the superbike rounds and open up that vast motorcyle market.

At the present the only track that potentially show ups on the racing radar would be the new Sochi circuit that should be completed by 2014, but it doesn’t hurt to get negotiations going and try to pick up a plum racing date to avoid bad weather.
