New weekend schedules, grid positions changes and sustainable fuel updates have all been confirmed as part of new rules set out by WorldSBK officials.
A new team championship has been announced, allowing teams in all classes to obtain a license and compete. Without a license, teams will not score points. In Race 2, the grid positions for the first 9 riders will be determined by their fastest time in Race 1 for WorldSSP, WorldSSP300, and WorldWCR. If there is an engine allocation infringement before the race, the rider will start the next 2 races from the back of the grid and receive two long lap penalties. Starting from 2025, a fuel flow control system will be mandatory in the WorldSBK Class, and in 2024, two bikes from each manufacturer will need to fit a fuel flow meter to validate the concept. A minimum of 40% sustainable fuel content will be required in the WorldSBK and WorldSSP categories starting from the 2024 season. Various updates were made to the Disciplinary Regulations to use more precise legal language. A specific application will be used in 2024 to notify and make decisions public, with a legal value for notifications and appeals.
