In 1998, Niall Mackenzie set out to put his name firmly in the British Superbike history books by claiming three titles in three seasons, but with an increasingly competitive field lining up against him, it was never going to be easy.

Back aboard the Cadbury's Boost Yamaha, Mackenzie faced another tough challenge from Chris Walker, now riding for Kawasaki, while new teammate Steve Hislop was equally determined to get his hands on the championship.

Hislop showed impressive pace early on, but a heavy qualifying crash at Cadwell Park dealt a major blow to his title hopes. Meanwhile, Walker continued to pile on the pressure, determined to go one better than his runner-up finish the previous year.

With ten different race winners throughout the 24-race season, including rising Australian star Troy Bayliss, the championship produced some of the closest and most competitive racing yet seen in British Superbikes.

But when the chequered flag fell for the final time, it was Mackenzie who stood victorious, claiming his third consecutive title and cementing his place in British racing history.

Featuring the highlights from all 24 races, the 1998 British Superbike Championship Official Review captures a landmark year packed with outstanding racing and some of the sport's biggest names.
