As Honda's WorldSBK struggles continue, team boss Leon Camier admits the changes it has been allowed to make under the new 'super concession' rules have not made much of a difference:
World Superbike’s new system of super concessions has not allowed for big enough changes to make Honda competitive, team manager Leon Camier has admitted.In its fourth season since returning to WSBK as a full works entity, Honda continues to languish, again finding itself locked in battle with BMW to avoid last place in the manufacturers’ standings.
“We’re not happy with where we are, we don’t want to fight for positions like that,” Camier told Motorsport.com’s German edition. Last year, WSBK brought in a system of ‘super concessions’ - aimed primarily at Honda and BMW - that allow struggling manufacturers to make chassis adjustments that would otherwise not be allowed under the series’ strict homologation rules.
“We are missing a bit everywhere, apart from top speed. We can improve on acceleration, and we have to improve the turning when we’re off the brakes.”On the prospect of a new homologation being brought in for 2024, he added: “There could be something in the pipeline. I don’t know if it will be next year, but we’ll see what comes.”
“It would help to have a test rider in Europe, but our base is in Japan, so logistically it’s difficult.”
