British Motostar expands to 22 races in 2015

This year’s British Motostar series, which supports the MCE British Superbike Championship, will expand to 22 races as all bar the Oulton Park rounds become double headers.

Double header weekends will be comprised of a Free Practice session and Qualifying Practice one on day one, Qualifying two and a Race on day two and a warm up and the Feature Race on Day 3. The two Oulton Park rounds will retain the 2014 format of 2 x FP + 2 x QP, a warm up and race.

“Last year we canvassed the teams to look at ways of enhancing the class. It is, of course, one of only three British Championship and its serves tremendous importance as our only direct link to the Grand Prix World Championships,” said series director Stuart Higgs, speaking to bikesportnews.com.

 “As a junior class we believe that we need to maximise the track time for racing so that riders can nurture their race craft and also to give the public an extra race for prototype bikes.”

There has also been a technical update for the class:

• Motostar will continue with two separate classifications: Moto3 and 125GP.
• Moto3 – a rev limit of 13,500 RPM will be imposed and controlled by data logger
• ECU – ECU choice is free however the Dell’Orto ECU must use Motostar/Dell’Orto official
firmware to fix the rev limit. The procedure for sending Dell’Orto hardware to receive the firmware will be announced in due course.
