The Bennetts BSB 2023 season-opener at Silverstone marked the start of the twelfth season of the partnership between the UK-based specialist motorcycle insurance broker and the series promoter, MotorSport Vision Racing (MSVR).
Starting the multi-year deal with all-new Super Experiences to build on their existing offering, Bennetts highlighted their continued commitment to get their Bennetts Insurance customers and BikeSocial members closer to the BSB action than ever before.
Silverstone saw the debut of the first ultimate Super Experience, the Pit Perch!
Bennetts Insurance customers and BikeSocial members can feel the atmosphere of track action and a live session from Bennetts’ dedicated customer Pit Perch on the pit wall, a space usually only accessed by race teams and officials, and now exclusively by Bennetts customers too.
The Pit Perch is kitted out with live timing screens, fully immersing guests in the eBay pitlane activity and with the closest view of on track action. This unique opportunity gives a real chance to see what it’s like from a team’s perspective and to feel the speed, as the Championship contenders’ blast past the start line lap after lap.
Bennetts customer and Pit Perch occupant, Angus, commented: “Absolutely fantastic!! It’s so exhilarating being that close to the action. You can actually feel the vibrations of the bikes through your body as they’re going past.”
A sentiment echoed by Bennetts British Superbike Championship Series Director, Stuart Higgs: “We are always striving to enhance the BSB experience for Bennetts customers and the addition of the Pit Perch as part of this season’s Super Experiences gives guests an unrivalled opportunity to get closer to the action.”
The Pit Perch* can be accessed at all 11 BSB rounds, except Cadwell Park, where customers can instead witness the high-flying action of the Mountain from the inside of the circuit.
For your chance to experience this pit wall action, visit the Bennetts stand at each BSB round and register your name with a member of staff. You’ll need to have an active BikeSocial membership to register – which you can also sign up for on the day. There’s no pre-entry or competition win required.
The motorcycle insurance specialist looks forward to debuting more of their new for 2023 Bennetts BSB Super Experiences as the season continues and will be launching the ‘Superview’ at Oulton Park for round two of Bennetts BSB, a new and exclusive spectating area for customers and members, previously off-limits to the general public.
