Yes, the British Superbike Championship (BSB) does have factory teams participating in the series. While the BSB primarily consists of independent teams, there have been instances where manufacturers have directly supported or fielded factory-backed teams. These factory teams often receive support from manufacturers in terms of technical resources, development, and financial backing.
For example, in the past, teams such as Honda Racing, Kawasaki Racing Team, and Yamaha Racing have fielded factory-supported teams in the BSB. These teams benefit from direct support from the manufacturers, including access to factory-developed machinery, technical expertise, and financial resources.
The series offers a mix of factory-supported teams and independent entries, which adds to the diversity and competitiveness of the championship.
