BSB brands

Dissapointed and surprised the 2nd BSB race at Brands Hatch was cancelled. Afterall they had already run most of the bike races in the same wet conditions so didnt see any special reason to cancel it. As I turned off TV I didnt hear any reports as to why it was posponed other than there being water on the track.

Just looked on the BSB site and they just mention "track contamination". I presume they mean water or am I missing something? :

"The second MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship race has been postponed at Brands Hatch following track contamination at the circuit.

The previous Motorpoint British Supersport Championship was declared a result after several riders crashed unhurt and was subsequently red flagged. The Racesafe marshals and officials worked hard for an extensive period of time to clear the contamination which extended around the whole 1.2 mile circuit.

The MCE BSB riders then were given an eight minute free practice session to evaluate the track conditions. However following a unanimous agreement the race will now be postponed to a later round. The Monster Energy Motostar British Championship will also be rescheduled.

MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship Series Director Stuart Higgs said: "We have worked very hard to clean the track after the contamination, the second such situation over the weekend, but it has been a unanimous decision by the riders, teams and officials to reschedule this race to another event. It is a terribly frustrating situation but safety remains paramount."

There was fuel all over the track.

In one of the earlier races a rider went down and then remounted however his bike was leaking fuel (around the whole lap). When they cleaned it up it seems the detergent used made matters worse, so it wasn't just down to the water on track.
