The organisꦑers of the MCE British Superbike Championship, MSVR, have revealed plans to honour Simon Andrews and Karl Harr🌃is at Snetterton this weekend.

Evesham rider Andrews was killed following an accident in the Superst🃏ock race at the North West 200 in May, while 'Bomber' Harris lost his life in an incident at the Isle of Man TT while competing in the Superstock race.

Prior to Sunday's opening British Superbike ra൲ce, an RAF Reserves Honda Superbike - raced by Andrews in the series this season - and Karl's 1999 European Superstock Championship-winning GR Motorsport Suzuki will be positioned ahead oꦑf the starting grid.

Simultaneously, in the skies overhead the world's only airworthy B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, 'Sally-B', will p𒁏erform an air display, followed 🐠by a low-level flypast by an RAF Tornado GR4 operated out of nearby RAF Marham.

MCE BSB Series Director Stuart Higgs said: "This weekend at Snetterton the MCE BSB Championship reconvenes following the six-week break occupied by the major road racing events, which claimed the lives of Sim▨on and Karl.

"They were both hugely popular and accomplished riders who competed a🧜t the highest level in our series for more than a decade, and this is the first opportunity for us to pay tribute to them in a uni🍎que and fitting way.

"Our thoughtꦐs continue to be with all their families, friends and team members."
