With champion Alastair Seeley leaving for the British Superbike Championship the field should be closer than ever, Ben Wilson stays to see if he can finally capture the title. It proved to be another closely thought championship with Jack Kennedy and the returning former Supersport champion Glen Richards battling all the way to the final race of the championship, where it was down to the second and final race, in a drama packed race Richards fell at westfield on lap 2, meaning Kennedy only needed to finish to win the title, but on lap 8 Kennedy's dreams were ended with a mechanical problem for his MARtrain Yamaha forcing him to retire and hand Richards the title who was unaware of the events until arriving back in the pits.http://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/richards-crowned-champion-despite-crash-with-heartache-for-kennedy.aspx 2012 MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship in association with Pirelli 2012-12-15 https://web.archive.org/web/20121116221428/http://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/richards-crowned-champion-despite-crash-with-heartache-for-kennedy.aspx 2012-11-16 dead Calendar 2012 Calendarhttp://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/bsb-announces-sensational-2012-calendar.aspx BSB announces sensational 2012 calendar British Superbike Championship MotorSport Vision 21 November 2011 21 November 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20111124021655/http://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/bsb-announces-sensational-2012-calendar.aspx 24 November 2011 dead dmy-all Round Circuit Date Pole position Fastest lap Winning rider Winning team 1 R1 ENG Brands Hatch Indy 8 April AUS Billy McConnell ENG Sam Warren ENG Sam Warren Seton Tuning Yamaha R2 9 April ENG Ben Wilson IRL Jack Kennedy MarTrain Yamaha Racing 2 R1 ENG Thruxton 14 April AUS Glen Richards ENG Sam Warren AUS Glen Richards Smiths (Gloucester) Racing R2 15 April IRL Jack Kennedy AUS Billy McConnell Smiths (Gloucester) Racing 3 R1 ENG Oulton Park 6 May IRL Jack Kennedy ENG Ben Wilson IRL Jack Kennedy MarTrain Yamaha Racing R2 7 May AUS Glen Richards AUS Glen Richards Smiths (Gloucester) Racing 4 R1 ENG Snetterton 300 26 May AUS Glen Richards AUS Glen Richards IRL Jack Kennedy MarTrain Yamaha Racing R2 27 May AUS Billy McConnell IRL Jack Kennedy MarTrain Yamaha Racing 5 R1 SCO Knockhill 23 June AUS Glen Richards ENG Christian Iddon AUS Glen Richards Smiths (Gloucester) Racing R2 24 June ENG Christian Iddon AUS Billy McConnell Smiths (Gloucester) Racing 6 R1 ENG Oulton Park 7 July AUS Glen Richards AUS Glen Richards AUS Billy McConnell Smiths (Gloucester) Racing R2 8 July AUS Glen Richards AUS Glen Richards Smiths (Gloucester) Racing 7 R1 ENG Brands Hatch GP 22 July AUS Glen Richards IRL Jack Kennedy AUS Glen Richards Smiths (Gloucester) Racing R2 AUS Billy McConnell IRL Jack Kennedy MarTrain Yamaha Racing 8 R1 ENG Cadwell Park 26 August AUS Glen Richards AUS Glen Richards AUS Billy McConnell Smiths (Gloucester) Racing R2 27 August ENG Luke Mossey AUS Glen Richards Smiths (Gloucester) Racing 9 R1 ENG Donington Park 8 September AUS Glen Richards AUS Billy McConnell IRL Jack Kennedy MarTrain Yamaha Racing R2 9 September AUS Glen Richards AUS Glen Richards Smiths (Gloucester) Racing 10 R1 NED TT Circuit Assen 22 September ENG Luke Mossey IRL Jack Kennedy ENG Christian Iddon Oxford TAG Triumph R2 23 September ENG Christian Iddon USA P.
