ꦕBut Haslam says he will only focus on a race-by-race approach starting next weekend at Oulton Park.

“It’s not over yet. Last year we had eight DNFs but we still went into the final round with a 30-point lead so I know anything can happen,” Haslam said. “This year has gone really well with no DNFs and the most wins I’ve ever had in a BSB season s🌠o I am just concentrating on myself as the team and my Kawasaki are working rღeally well so we’ll take it race-by-race and see what we can do.”

Rating his overall campaign ahead of the BSB Showdown, Haslam accepts he’s in the best position along with t🐻wo Showdo𓂃wn rounds hosted by circuits he’s dominated at in recent years.

“So far, so good,” he said. “At Oulton I have a good record with eight out of 11 wins there a♎nd we’ve had three out of four wins at Assen in BSB.

“But Brands Hatch I’ve never won at on a Kawasaki so I am hoping we can keep staying on it until Braꦯnds. Hopefully we don’t have to go to the final round at Brands wondering and I can have some fun and go for it. But it is BSB and I know it isn’t going to happen like that so right now I am concentrating race-by-race.”

Haslam has been almost flawless over t𒁏he past three rounds with six wins from the past seven races, with his only miss being fourth place in race two at Thruxton, while he has not reached the podium in just three races across all 19 BSB races so far this year.
