Bradley Ray, the 2022 champion, has switched to World Superbikes, plus it's also out with the old and in with the new in terms of championship format.
Instead of the season ending with a play-off style title fight, all riders still in with a mathematical chance of winning the title will be eligible for extra points in the three-race Showdown, but more points are on offer for those who excel when the pressure is at its highest.
Here's a rundown of all you need to know throughout the 2023 British Superbikes season.

What is the 2023 British Superbike rider line-up?
Teams are allowed to enter a maximum of two riders, although many run just one.
Five manufacturers' motorcycles are used - Honda, Ducati, Kawasaki, Yamaha and BMW - and the models raced must bear a close resemblance to their roadgoing counterparts.
With last year's champion rider Ray having left, his OMG team elevates Kyle Ryde to team leader status, with Ryan Vickers joining the squad.
Rookie Tim Neave joins Jason O'Halloran at McAMS Yamaha, while Andrew Irwin returns to the factory Honda team alongside Tom Neave.
Ex-Honda man Glenn Irwin is back with Paul Bird Motorsport, entered under the BeerMonster Ducati banner.
He partners Tommy Bridewell as the Ducati runners look to bounce back from a disappointing 2022.

What are the new rules in British Superbikes in 2023?
The main rule change introduced for 2023 sees a rethink of The Showdown, as the final three races of the year are known, and is aimed at keeping more riders in the title fight as the campaign draws to a close.
The season has split into a Main section and a Play-off since 2010 in response to the 2009 season in which Leon Cammier wrapped up the championship with four rounds to spare.
That anti-climax proved a turn-off, so to ensure the season finished on a crescendo a new format was created, similar to that in use in NASCAR.
After the first nine races of the season, all riders had to drop their two worst results and the top six from that criteria were each elevated to 500 points, with extra bonuses depending on how many podiums they had achieved.
This effectively levelled the playing field and left six riders to battle it out over the final three rounds.
This year, the 500-point idea is scrapped but a new points system will be used in the last three races.
Where can I watch the British Superbike Championship?
All races are shown live on TV on Eurosport and through streaming service Discovery+, while four rounds, Knockhill (16th-18th June), Snetterton (7th-9th July), Thruxton (11th-13th August) and Oulton Park (15th-17th September), will be broadcast live on free-to-air on QuestTV, which also screens highlights on Tuesday evenings.
Who won the 2022 British Superbike title?
Bradley Ray of OMG Racing won the title by 21 points ahead of Glenn Irwin.
Ray had been leading the championship after the Main Season and held on despite winning only two of the nine races during The Showdown.
