Aruba.it Racing in September – Ducati, Barni Racing Team, MV Agusta and Althea BMW are some of those taking part, ahead of another test session expected to see more teams and riders on the track in August.

Also present are WorldSSP teams Kawasaki Puccetti Racing and Orelac Racing VerdNatura, as well as the Aruba.it Junior Team from the STK1000 Cup.

Kawasaki Racing Team, after their most recent testing at the Circuito de Jerez, are confirmed to not have any further track time after the flag drop in Race 2 at Laguna Seca, but others up and down the grid are expected to use the summer break to get out on track at Lausitzring and at other venues. In addition, Honda World Superbike and World Supersport Teams and the PATA Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team currently have riders preparing for the Suzuka 8h and are as such absent.

Another test is scheduled in August for more participants ahead of Round 10 as the season enters its final stages and the last four Rounds build up to a season finale to remember at Losail International Circuit in Qatar.
