In exceptional cases, should the sticker be damaged or applied in the wrong way,<br />

up to 1 extra sticker may be provided at the sole discretion of the <strong>FIM</strong> <strong>Superbike</strong><br />

Technical Director. However, the damaged sticker must be returned to the <strong>FIM</strong><br />

<strong>Superbike</strong> Technical Director and/or the tyre it was applied to must be absolutely<br />

intact.<br />

In case of a red flag, a damaged tyre found on motorcycles checked in pit lane,<br />

may be replaced with a new tyre. The damage must be confirmed by the Official<br />

Supplier.<br />

During practices, qualifying sessions or warm up, new tyres may be supplied to<br />

a motorcycle involved in a crash, only if the request has been received by the <strong>FIM</strong><br />

<strong>Superbike</strong> Technical Director when the motorcycle is still in the parc fermé and<br />

the Official Supplier certifies that the tyre(s) is(are) damaged and unsafe.<br />

2.6.8 Engine<br />

The total number of engines that can be used by each rider during the entire<br />

Championship is limited to three (3).<br />

The number of engines that can be used during each event is not limited.<br />

Each engine will be officially sealed by the <strong>FIM</strong> <strong>Superbike</strong> Technical Director<br />

or by his appointed staff before it can be used during an event. The seal will<br />

bear a serial number, which will be recorded. Any attempt made to remove<br />

the seal will damage it irreparably.<br />

A broken or damaged seal will be considered as if the engine has been used<br />

and it will be counted as a part of the rider’s allocation for the Championship.<br />

The crankcase, cylinder and cylinder heads will be sealed to control the<br />

engine use.<br />

A rider who needs to use more than the allocated number of three (3) engines<br />

during the Championship, will receive a penalty. The penalty consists of<br />

having to start from the last grid position for the race and for the following<br />

race (two races in the same racing season).<br />

T<br />

Wild card riders will be allowed to use two sealed engines during the event<br />

S<br />

in which they take part. S<br />
