SINGLE MAKE TYRE SUPPLIER REGULATION ANNOUNCED FOR 2008/2009 MCRCB BRITISH SUPERBIKE AND BRITISH SUPERPORT CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Further to the recent statement concerning the evaluation of a possible single make tyre supplier regulation, the MCRCB Board of Directors has met and sanctioned this regulation for application in the 2008 and 2009 British Superbike and Supersport Championships.
Since September 22nd MCRCB Events Limited has collated a large amount of relevant information from participating teams and the industry. Other motor sport championship structures around the World were also researched and there is compelling evidence that the application of this regulation will address the most pertinent issue being debated in Worldwide motorsport;
The equal distribution of a consumable product, which has the clear ability to influence the results of the competition.
Other key findings were the amount of annual competition budget allocated to tyre purchase and the amount of tyres consumed during test and race events. Both these areas will be addressed in this process.
MCRCB Events Limited has now been instructed to commence a tender process and the publication of an "Invitation to Tender" (ITT) document will follow. This will be posted on
www.mcrcb-events.co.uk.
Upon publication of the ITT, a period of approximately ten working days will be allowed for the submission of proposals, following which the MCRCB will announce a date when the selection will be made.
