Twice World Superbike champion Troy Bayliss signs-off from his British fans at Donington Park's eleventh round of the series over the weekend of 5-6-7 September.
The highly popular Aussie will be racing in this country for the final time at the Leicestershire circuit having decided to hang-up his leathers at the end of this season.
These races could be crucial to him taking the title for a third time - riding the Xerox Ducati he has built up a healthy points lead and a winning double could ease him towards his goal.
Troy Corser and Nori Haga, riding Yamaha, intend to spoil the party in the Park for Bayliss with Max Neukirchner also coming into the reckoning.
But, on home ground, they will all have to check the form of former four times British Superbike runner-up Chris Walker who will be riding the Vent Axia VK Honda, not forgetting the ‘wild-card' riders HM Plant Honda duo Leon Haslam and Cal Crutchlow together with James Ellison aboard the Hydrex Bike Animal Honda.
Around the two Superbike races there is also the chance to see Ulsterman Jonathan Rea continuing his quest for the World Supersport title, under fire from Aussies Andrew Pitt and Broc Parkes.
European Superstock 600 and 1000 action add to the programme which also features Suzuki Cup and Thundersports GP1 racing.
