EFFECTIVE SEASON 2020

Penalty for Jump Starts

The fixed penalty for a jump start is changed from a pit lane ride through to the obligation to perform two “long laps”. The long laps must be completed within five laps of the rider being notified of the penalty.

Moto3 and Moto2 Class Tyres

Riders proceeding from Qualifying Practice 1 to Qualifying Practice 2 will now receive an additional front tyre. Such riders already receive an additional rear tyre. This change is effective from the next event which is the British Grand Prix

Materials Used in “Sliders”

We have recent experience of a rider using knee sliders to which had been added metal studs. This resulted in sparks being generated which could disturb a following rider. With immediate effect it is prohibited to manufacture or modify knee or other sliders to include any material that, when in contact with the track surface, may cause a visual disturbance to other riders.
