Start of the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup 2008 in Brno

The FIM Superstock 1000 Cup was a racing series for motorcycles that has been advertised by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) since 2005 and took place as part of the supporting program of the European events of the Superbike World Championship . In the 2019 season, the successor to the series will be held as part of the Alpe Adria Championship.

The championship served as a springboard for young pilots into the Supersport and Superbike World Championship. Some Superbike World Championship teams even had their own junior teams in the cup.
