This year’s World Superbike Championship (WSBK) has been heavily focused on southern and central Europe, with only one round held outside the continent in Australia. For 2025, there is a goal to diversify the calendar, and Türkiye is a possibility.

Toprak Razgatlioglu is the current star of the WSBK, leading the championship with a commanding advantage after setting a record with 13 consecutive wins. Given the Turkish ROKiT BMW rider’s performance, a round in his home country seems like a logical step.

According to GPOne.com, Dorna is currently assessing the possibilities of bringing the championship back to Istanbul Park, where it last raced in 2013. This week, the championship’s executive director, Gregorio Lavilla, was in Türkiye to explore this potential return.

Financial investment doesn’t seem to be a barrier for Turkey, which is economically stable. The Istanbul Park circuit, which has hosted Formula 1 and MotoGP in the past, is also well-prepared. However, there are still challenges, particularly in terms of logistics and organization, that will need to be addressed.
