The same principle could be applied to the future direction of the senior Supersport class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In recent years the Supersport class has been bound by regulations to incorporate<strong> 600cc 4 cylinder, 675cc 3 cylinder and 750cc twin-cylinder machines.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As the market changes, motorcycles outside of these parameters now form the Supersport sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Planned new regulations could allow machines from different manufacturers that currently are not eligible to compete in the Supersport class. Adding value either to the teams and the series organizer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">MSVR as the organizer of the British Supersport Championship will pilot the evolution of the class. In 2021 with the introduction<strong> of a Triumph 765 three-cylinder machine<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And later in the season a <strong>Ducati 959 twin-cylinder machine<\/strong> in a view to evaluating if this new technical regulation could be the platform for the 2022 FIM Supersport World Championship organized by DWO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">MSVR BSB Series Director Stuart Higgs said: <em>The Supersport class is tremendously essential to the international and domestic racing structures. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Previously multiple manufacturers and machine configurations have competitively raced together. But this has diminished given the changes in the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To reset and redefine the category will provide a great stimulus and great future for the intermediate production derived class.
