A regulation update has been made by WorldSBK, with a change to the fuel flow regulations ah🌌ead of this weekend’s Emilia-Romagna Round of the 2025 season at Misano.

Previously, the fuel flow performance balancing worked on a step-based system with three different steps. The first step of performance reduct꧟ion meant a 0.5kg/h fuel flow reduction, the second meant 1.0kg/h, and step three meant 1.5kg/h.

The adjustments were to be made after each concessions checkpoint, meaning after every second round in the season. After each of the first two checkpoints, Ducati and BMW were both given 0.5kg/h reductions, meaning at the Czech Round they both raced with 1.0kg/h less maximum fue🐷l flow ꦇthan the rest of the field.

The 𓆏system was criticised by BMW’s Topꦑrak Razgatlioglu, the reigning 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion, who felt that it was incor🌱rect💃 that BMW was receiving the same reduction as Ducati after each checkpoint.

The update🥃 to the system will make the key change th💖at penalties will now be applied linearly, rather than in the previous step-based system.

“For WorldSBK Class, the step-based system of performance c𒀰alculation is replaced by a linear penalty system, effective from Checkpoint 3,” the Decision of the Superbike Commission reads.

“Only permanent riders are included in performance assessments, with wildcard and r𒆙eplacement riders excluded. Manufacturers must complete at least 50 laps across two events to be eligible for fuel flow🌌 concessions or penalties.

“A balanced perfor🔴mance range means no action is taken, while underperformance triggers a proportionaꩵl penalty.

“There is no buffer period – pena😼lties remain until performance improves.

“R💝ecovery is only possible through meeting positive performance thresholds, with limited gains allowed per checkpoint.”
