Overview
The series was introduced in 1999 as a European championship[1] and in October 2004 became the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup.[2] It is classified as a FIM Prize.[3]
The championship has been organized and promoted as its parent series by FGSport—renamed Infront Motor Sports in 2008[4]—until 2012 and by Dorna since the 2013 season.[5]
Regulations
Technical regulations
Much the same as the Superbike World Championship but all the bikes are much closer stock to spec and there is an age restriction on riders. FIM Superstock 1000 motorcycles are allowed modifications more aimed at safety and crash survivability/repairability than outright performance such as fiberglass silhouette bodywork with fluid retention capabilities and improved hand and foot controls. FIM Superstock 1000 motorcycles are allowed performance modifications such as brake pads and discs, chaindrive systems, exhaust systems, fork internals and rear shock absorbers.[citation needed]
Sporting regulations
At his inception, the series was restricted to riders aged from 16 to 24;[1] the upper limit was raised to 26 in 2011[6] and to 28 in 2015.[7]
The points system is the same for the riders' championship and the manufacturers' championship, but only the highest-finishing motorcycle by a particular manufacturer is awarded the points for the latter championship.
