Niall and Tarran Mackenzie are the first father and son combination to finish on the podium in BSB history.

Tarran became the 73rd rider to stand on a BSB podium since 1996.

Leon Haslam’s advantage of 45 points is the highest ever in the nine years of the Showdown being contested. The previous best total was in 2014 when Shane Byrne was 26 points clear of Josh Brookes.

This year’s Showdown features four of the six riders who contested last year’s Showdown – Haslam, Jake Dixon, Brookes and Peter Hickman.

Glenn Irwin and Bradley Ray will contest the Showdown for the first time in their BSB careers.

Five manufacturers are represented in the Showdown – Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati and BMW.

For the second year running, Peter Hickman is the only BMW representative in the Showdown.

Josh Brookes has contested the Showdown every year since it was introduced in 2010 with the exception of 2016 when he was contesting the World Superbike Championship.

His eight appearances in the Showdown is a record number, one ahead of Shane Byrne.

Brookes took his 114th BSB podium at Silverstone and whilst this keeps him third on the all-time list, he closed to within one of John Reynolds’ total of 115.
