Special highlight of every event at FR-Performance are sprint races (FR-Challenge) with an annual rating under realistic racing conditions and the highest safety regulations!
Any sports driver can participate in our FR-Challenge. Our events are non-licensed sports events. For a guest start at our CUP events, it is sufficient to register for the race when booking the event. Participation in the annual rating and guarantee of Cup driver discounts is subject to a fully completed CUP registration and participation in 4 CUP events.
Classes and ratings
In the FR-Challenge, there are 2 ratings. The open rating with free tire choice and the Bridgestone rating, in which only Bridgestone tires are allowed.
The races of the 3 classes SSP-600 (up to 600ccm), SBK-750 (up to 750ccm) and SBK-1000 (over 750ccm) will be started separately. In case of low participation, the classes SSP-600 and SBK-750 will be started together, but will be rated separately. If there are enough starters, there will be a SBK-1000-1 and a SBK-1000-2 race. Both have an open and a Bridgestone rating.
Qualifying
The starting grid for the 1st race is based on the fastest lap in the "time trial". The starting grid for the 2nd race is based on the fastest lap in the 1st race.
If you do not have a timed lap in the 1st race, you must start from the back in the 2nd race.
Start
For each race, there are 3 calls. The last call is exactly 2 minutes before the pit lane opens for 60 seconds. If you do not make it into the Out-Lap in the 60 seconds, you can only follow the field to the Warm-Up Lap.
The start is standing in 3 rows.
In the Out-Lap, we set up the starting grid for the first time and go into the Warm-Up Lap. The Warm-Up Lap is started with a green flag from the Start/Finish Tower and all riders start simultaneously into the warm-up lap.
After the Warm-Up Lap, we go back to the starting grid. The start is started according to MotoGP procedure. All the lights on the traffic light go on and the start is made when the traffic light goes out.
Races
For safety reasons, we only allow participants to start in the races who are not slower than 115% of the pole time. With a pole time of 1:40.355, only participants can start who have driven at least a 1:55.408 or faster in the time trial.
If you do not qualify, you will of course get your start fee (€20 per race) back.
The race distance of the races is 15 minutes + 2 laps.
For a jump start or disregard of flag signals, there is a 30-second time penalty.
To be classified in a race, you must have completed at least 50% of the race distance.
FR-Challenge registration
When registering for the Cup, you must decide in which rating and with which starting number you want to drive. Since we cannot assign starting numbers twice, the following applies: "First come, first served" Starting number and rating apply for the entire season.
A fee of €200 is payable for registration. The Cup driver discounts are 15% of the basic price.
If you pay for all events at once, you will also receive a 5% discount. Otherwise, we will collect the entry fee about 5 weeks before the event start.
For the coming season 2024, we have planned 4 fixed championship events. With 2 sprint races per event.
