This new
production-based platform is designed to be the new beginner class for the
WorldSBK Championship, feeding the higher categories with new talents in the
near future. This class will be a perfect window for the various manufacturers
to showcase their new range of lightweight 300 sport bikes that are emerging in
the marketplace. The category is devoted to building rider potential and
discovering new talents worldwide, with a minimum rider entry age of
15.
“This new platform will be the perfect environment for developing
future talent,” said Vito Ippolito, President of FIM. “The intention of WorldSSP
300 is to create a benchmark for National Championships to follow. We want to
offer an environment that is regulated and relatively equal in which future
talent can grow, and where manufacturers can accompany young riders as they take
their first steps towards stardom.”
“The focus is to have an affordable
Series for these young competitors,” said Javier Alonso, WorldSBK Executive
Director. “There has been great interest for low-capacity motorcycles in this
sport and the new WorldSSP 300 class strives to offer that. It will be promoted
by Manufacturers as an easily accessible championship, the best possible
platform to grow future stars where Manufacturers can accompany riders from an
early age and as they progress through their career.

provisional Technical Regulations for the WorldSSP 300 Championship can be found
