A regulation update has been made by WorldSBK, with a change to the fuel flow regulations aheജad 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 reduction meant a 0.5kg/h fuel flow reduction, the second meant 1.0𒉰kg/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 fuel flow than the rest of the field.

The system was criticised✨ by BMW’s Toprak 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 incorrect that BMW was receiving the same reduction as Ducati a🌱fter each checkpoint.

The update to the system will make the key change that penalties will now be applied linearly, rather than in the previous step-based syste🔴m.

“For WorldSBK Class, the step-based system of performance calculation is replaced by a linear penalty systeꦏm, effective from Checkpoint 3,” the Decision of the Superbik🅷e Commission reads.

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

“A balanced perf🌠ormance range means no action is take🙈n, while underperformance triggers a proportional penalty.

“There is no b🉐uffer period – penalties remain until performance improves.

“Recovery i🔯s only possible through meeting positive performance thresholds, with limited gains allowed per checkpoint.”
