The starting grid for the 2018 IDM Superbike 1000 season is taking shape. Among the 20 riders from six countries who have registered so far is Suzuki rider Sarah Heide, the first woman to compete.
More nominations to follow
A few entries are still pending. For example, it’s known that Lucy Glöckner also plans to give the men at the top a run for their money. She’s a confirmed rider for Kawasaki, but the promoter hasn’t received the necessary entry documents yet. There’s definitely still a lot to happen before the first race weekend, April 27–29, 2018, in Oschersleben.
