WorldSBK announces tweaks to the delayed start procedure, pit lane speed limit infringement and race restart protocols.
WorldSBK has announced several regulation changes, including adopting the delayed start procedure from MotoGP for races. These changes will be implemented starting from the Czech WorldSBK round in Most.
In case of a race delay, the countdown to the warm-up lap will now restart at the 5-minute board instead of the previous 3-minute mark.
The Superbike Commission has also adjusted the pit lane speed limit rules, introducing fines for offenders and potentially harsher penalties for repeat violations.
Further penalties, such as increased fines, will be imposed on riders caught speeding excessively during races.
Riders who are one full lap down will now start from the pit lane in a restarted race, while those two or more laps behind will not be allowed to restart.
These changes aim to improve the fairness and safety of WorldSBK races for all participants and ensure a consistent standard across all FIM Circuit Racing Series.
