lane exit.
If a rider(s) closely proceeds the leader during the final lap before the finish line, the
official will show to the rider(s) and to the leader simultaneously the chequered flag
and the Blue flag. That means that the race is finished for the leader while the rider(s)
closely proceeding to the leader has (have) to complete the final lap and take the
chequered flag.
1.24.2 In case of a photo – finish between two or more riders, the decision will be taken in
favour of the competitor whose front wheel leading edge crosses the plane of the
finish line first.

In case the rider is not in contact with the machine, the finish time is determined
by the front part of the rider or machine that crosses the finish line
In case of ties, the riders concerned will be ranked in the order of the best lap time
made during the race.
1.24.3 The results will be based on the order in which the riders cross the line and the number
of laps completed.
1.24.4 To be counted as a finisher in the race and be included in the results a rider must:

displayed.
Exception: if the race is interrupted after the chequered flag, the following procedures
will apply:
• For all the riders for whom the chequered flag was shown before the interruption, a
partial classification will be established at the end of the last lap of the race.
• For all the riders for whom the chequered flag was not shown before the
interruption , a partial classification will be established at the end of the
penultimate lap of the race.
• The complete classification will be established by combining both partial
classifications as per the lap/time procedure.
At the time the red flag is displayed, riders who are not actively participation in the
race will not be classified.
Within 5 minutes after the red flag has been displayed, riders who have not entered
the pit lane, pushing and riding on their motorcycle, will not be classified.

interests of safety and improved competition between various Motorcycle concepts.
EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT AUTHORISED AND PRESCRIBED IN THIS RULE IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN
If a change to a part or system is not specifically permitted in any of the following articles, then it is
forbidden.
ASB1000 motorcycles require an FIM homologation as listed in current Listing of FIM homologated
motorcycles for Superbike category. If a FIM homologation is not available for a specific motorcycle
due to unavoidable circumstances (e.g. Covid-19 Pandemic) and FIM Homologation has been
submitted than, the following may be used as a remedy.
- Homologation from in the Country of Origin (of the motorcycle Make)

- Homologation from the FIM ARRC Technical Committee.
All motorcycles must comply in every respect with all the requirements for road racing as specified in
this Technical Specifications (Regulations), All Motorcycles must be normally aspirated.
Once a motorcycle has obtained the homologation, it may be used for racing in the corresponding class
for a maximum period of 8 years or until such time that the homologated motorcycle is disqualified by
new rules or changes in the technical specifications of the corresponding class.
The appearance from the front, rear and tge profile of ASB1000 motorcycles must (except when
otherwise stated) conform to the homologated shape (as originally produced by the manufacturer). The
appearance of the exhaust system is excluded from this rule.
2.2 General Motorcycle Specifications.

All parts and systems of the Motorcycle not specifically mentioned in the following articles must
remain;
