2. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

All participants must be physically and mentally capable of driving a motorbike under competition conditions.

The participation of minors is only possible with the written consent of their legal representatives. Young people before the age of 16 must provide proof from a sports doctor that they have the mental and physical abilities to drive a motorbike under racing conditions.

All participants are subject to an absolute ban on alcohol and drugs (0.0 per mille) during the race. The organiser is entitled to carry out alcohol and drug controls. The transfer of the motorbike to third parties without valid registration is prohibited. Participation in the riders' briefing is obligatory for every participant.

3. CLASSIFICATION

Races of different classifications will be started together, but will be judged separately in the listed classes. An overview of models and classifications can be found in the Timetable and Registration section.

4. DECLARATION OF CONSENT (UNDERAGE PARTICIPANTS)

By taking note of these terms and conditions, the legal representatives of underage participants confirm that they are aware of the risks and dangers of motorsport and the organiser's event and that they accept full responsibility for their son or daughter and their actions. They thereby release the Organiser and the co-organisers from any liability - except for intentional or grossly negligent behaviour.

5. DATE, TIMETABLE AND VENUE

The Ducati Speeddays will be held in Cremona from 11 to 14 August 2023. Participants will have access to the paddock from 19:00 on Thursday 11 August. Registration can be done on Thursday between 09:00 and 22:00 and on all other days between 09:00 and 21:00 in the WSB Operations Box. The relevant documents and, if applicable, the pit key will be handed out in the course of registration, as will the transponder required for timekeeping, which must be fitted to the motorbike. The currently valid timetable will be posted in the WSB Operations Box.

6. STARTING GRID AND TIMING

The starting position will be determined by the best lap time achieved during the timed practice sessions of this event. The starting grid will be determined by lap time only, irrespective of the class in which the rider is classified. If a rider does not have any timed laps, he will be placed on the grid behind the last qualified rider. In case of several non-qualified riders, the order of these riders will be drawn by lot at the end of the starting field.

The time will be taken by means of a transponder. The transponder will be handed out at registration. In case of loss or damage, the participant is obliged to pay compensation. Lap times and starting positions can be followed live in the organisation box or on a laptop via the "WLAN network" in the paddock. The range depends on the structure of the buildings.

7. RACE PROCEDURE

The race procedure is as follows:

• 5 minutes before start time: First call for competitors to line up in the pit lane.
• 2 minutes before start time: Second call to line up in the pit lane.
• The starting field will be led into the warm-up lap with the pace bike, which may not be used under any circumstances. In the warm-up lap, the starting order must be maintained throughout the entire lap. The gaps to the next should be as small as possible.
• OVERTAKING IS PROHIBITED IN THE WARM-UP LAP! Violations will be penalised with at least 10 penalty seconds per overtaking.
• The pace bike will enter the pit lane at the end of the warm-up lap and the lights will be switched to green. Once this has occurred, the overtaking ban will be lifted after the start line.

Participants who were not able to take up their starting position in time may follow the field after all riders have passed from the pit lane. During the start no one is allowed to stand directly at the pit wall. Any instructions given by the track staff must be obeyed in any case. During the race, the number of laps remaining until the end of the race will be displayed at the finish. The race will be finished with the black and white chequered flag. The final lap must be completed at reduced speed. Surprising line changes in the final lap have led to serious accidents in the past and must be avoided at all costs.

If the number of laps is reduced or the race is stopped, the race will be restarted if the race distance is less than 50%. In this case, the race distance will be equal to the remaining laps. If less than two laps have been completed, the race will be run again for the full distance of 8 laps. In the event of any infringement of the rules, the race management or the organiser will decide on the consequences.
