2013 World Superbike calendar updated
With the nearly month long gap between the Silverstone and Laguna Seca rounds of this year's championship, there was room to add the Turkish round, but only the World Superbike and World Supersport will be competing. The FIM Superstock 1000 Cup will not be contesting this round.
The Indian round at the Buddh International Circuit, which was originally scheduled for March 10, was changed some time ago to November 17, the final round of the 2013 SBK championship.
Despite the addition of Turkey, this year's series is still a 15-round championship, following the cancellation of the June 23 round, which hadn't confirmed a circuit as of January 2013.
The updated 2013 calendar is as follows.
