A regulation update has been made by WorldSBK, with a change to the fuel flow regulations ahead o⭕f 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 fi⛄rst step of performance reduction meant a 0.5kg/h fuel flow reduction, the second meant 1.0kg/h, and ste💙p 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 tꦛhe fಌirst 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 To💟prak Razgatlioglu, the reigning 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion, who felt that it wa♔s ✤incorrect that BMW was receiving the same reduction as Ducati after 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 system.

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

“Only permanent riders are included in performa🌟nce assessments, with wildcard and replacement riders excluded. M♎anufacturers must complete at least 50 laps across two events to be eligible for fuel flow concessions or penalties.

“A balanced performance range means no action is taken, while u🎀nderperformance triggers a proportional penalty.

“🎉There is no buffer period – penalties remain until 𝄹performance improves.

“Recovery is only possible 𝕴through meeting positive performance thresholds, with limited gains allowed per checkpoint.”
