WorldSSP Entry List 2016
34 riders will line up on the grid in new look WorldSSP in 2016
The FIM has published the entry list for the World Supersport Championship in 2016 in advance of the first round at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on the 26th to 28th of February.
The WorldSSP grid in 2016 will consist of 34 riders and the list combines the reigning references of the category such as Kenan Sofuoglu with the rookie entries like Zulfahmi Khairuddin.
In WorldSSP, reigning Champion Kenan Sofuoglu has a new face next door in ex-Moto2™ rider Krummenacher, and Jules Cluzel looks to remount his challenge for the crown after healing from injury. Zulfahmi Khairuddin moves from Moto3™ to WorldSSP, becoming the first full time Malaysian rider on the grid. World Supersport also has some changes of its own with new technical regulations, the most significant of which is a ban on the use of traction control. In addition, the championship is to follow in the footsteps of WorldSBK and adopt the Superpole format of qualifying.
A new addition for 2016 sees the dawn of the FIM Europe Supersport Cup, after a long study of the 600cc class within the National, European and World championships. The Cup should enable the riders and teams taking part to compete on a world stage in terms of media and TV coverage, but a cost of a lower level championship in terms of logistics and bike preparation. With the same technical regulations as WorldSSP, riders taking part in the FIM Europe Supersport Cup will line up in on the same grid as WorldSSP, but only take part in the European rounds of the Championship.
