For manufacturers, Supersport racing is an important area of competition, and Honda and Yamaha have been the long-term protagonists in this series.
At Portimao Honda ended up taking the Manufacturers' Championship for the seventh time in succession, holding off Yamaha by 13 points.
With one race win and five other podium finishes for Joan Lascorz, Kawasaki finished the season third, on 186 points, with Triumph on 114 points, after Garry McCoy had taken not one but two podiums in this intensely tough season.
Points in this championship are allocated in a similar fashion to the Riders' title. That is, 25 for a win, down to 1 for 15th, with the best single finish for a rider representing each machine type being marked in as the Manufacturer's score for that individual round.
