Official ASBK Tests allow riders and teams precious track time and data acquisition, as riders reacquaint themselves with tracks that they may be unfamiliar with or are wanting to pre-run new bikes and parts on before an ASBK Round begins. Official ASBK Tests are just that, an Official Test. This means all the trimmings and hallmarks of a full-blown race weekend, without the racing.

Numerous riders from multiple ASBK Championship classes will take to the track, attempting to post quick lap times, make crucial setup changes and run race simulations before the next round at the very same track on 25 – 27 August.

With the 7 Round 2017 ASBK passing the halfway point, riders will want to find a competitive working base setup to bring into Round 5.
