At Phillip Island for example, riders are given a 63-second pit intervention time. This is the minimum amount of time it must take from them entering pit lane, to leaving pitlane – a 549.2m distance, taking 33 seconds at 60kph. If the race machine transponder crosses the pit exit line any sooner than 63 seconds, then a rider is handed a penalty (five seconds for every second under the pit intervention time) – any later, then a rider is losing time in the race.
Additionally, the race distance for the WorldSBK Race 1 and 2 has been reduced to 20 laps and two extra sets of tyres have been allocated for each rider in both classes.
