• Life on the track: Craig Jones

The Ten Kate Honda pair join fellow World Supersport contender Craig Jones, who is determined to take part despite suffering a broken finger last weekend.

Rea will officially be at Donington to test ahead of the WSS round there in September, but will be after a good result after making a splash in BSB in 2006 and 2007.

Ten Kate boss Ronald Ten Kate said: "Donington is one of our test tracks, but our schedule is very tight so to race at the British Championship event is a good solution."

Jones told Eurosport he was confident of taking part, but that his focus was on the forthcoming WSS round in Germany in June.

"My priority is to be fit for the next World Supersport round in Germany in a month's time, so if I have to miss Donington I will, although it would obviously be a massive shame," he said.

"It is not too bad at the moment. I was able to drive the motorhome back, and have just been taking it easy at home and putting lots of ice on it.

"It is getting better all the time and I am still able to do the majority of my training - it is no problem going on the exercise bike for example."
