WELCOME to the
WorldSBK - the biggest production-derived FIM championship of all - offers unrivalled levels of on-site interaction between fans and riders over each weekend . The epicentre of these experiences is the dedicated WorldSBK Paddock Show . Once again this is the place to be to extract the maximum feeling of being an integral part of the whole live WorldSBK experience .
Located in the heart of the Fan Zones at all 12 WorldSBK race weekends , the Paddock Show itself takes place on a raised stage , with entertainment of many kinds taking place for eight hours or more each day . Nothing else brings you closer to the riders and other key figures . That has been particularly evident in recent years as the Paddock Show is the dedicated backdrop for the top riders ’ post-race celebrations , as part of the open and accessible post-race Parc Ferme protocols in WorldSBK .
The very popular ‘ Podium Shows ’ after the main races , plus the Awards Shows - not to mention the fan oriented Meet ’ n ’ Greet sessions with riders from all classes - demonstrate that the Paddock Show truly fulfils its role as a crowd-pleasing focal point inside the heart of each host venue .
If you want to remain in the paddock itself even while the races and main qualifying sessions take place you can hear live commentary , and follow the action on the integrated ‘ big screen ,’ at the Paddock Show . Each Superpole contest and race will be shown on the Paddock Show screen , with expert dedicated commentary from the Paddock Show Host .
This alternative way of experiencing the live action on-site , allied to being able to watch your selected sessions and races out on track at any other times , allows the paying spectators and guests to absorb a different in-the-moment communal experience . It is a happy hybrid of watching the track action on TV and yet being part of a festival-style communal event , all while the racing is going on ( sometimes literally ) all around you . You have to experience it at least once .
On display at the Paddock show are WorldSBK racing machines from the many competing manufacturers . There are also video promotions , sponsor displays , competitions , quizzes , and the always popular Chat Shows with both the up-and-coming and established stars . There are many attractions that take place at the Paddock Show .
In addition to all these , the Saturday WorldSBK SuperShow also ensures that the paddock buzz continues long after the sound of racing engines has subsided .
In short , the Paddock Show is an unmissable part of every WorldSBK fan ’ s weekend experience .
