Pit Stops To Be Compulsory For Both WorldSBK And WorldSSP At Phillip Island Round

The WorldSBK series will once again see mandatory pit stops for the WorldSBK and WorldSSP classes, as was the case during the 2024 round. The combination of the new surface at Phillip Island, laid ahead of the 2024 season, the high speeds around the circuit's long left handers, and the abrasiveness of the asphalt place very high loads on tires and generate exceptionally high temperatures. Last year, Pirelli said that they had seen 160°C in pit lane, which translates to nearly 200°C on track.

WorldSBK is also fortunate to visit Phillip Island in February, at the height of the Australian summer. That raises both air and asphalt temperatures, which puts more heat into the tires.
