In a news release of June 19th, WSBK rights owner Dorna says that "the return of all three championships will bring more racing action, with additional races in place for the support classes to WorldSBK".
The 2020 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship will return to action from the 31st July, along with the FIM Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP) and the FIM Supersport 300 World Championship (WorldSSP300).
Both the WorldSSP and WorldSSP300 classes will feature revised weekend schedules, composing of an additional race for each class on the Saturdays after Tissot Superpole sessions have been completed and therefore still keeping within the traditional three-day WSBK race weekend format.
WorldSSP300 Tissot Superpole will happen directly before the class' Last Chance Race, whilst WorldSBK Race 1, WorldSSP Race 1 and then WorldSSP300 Race 1 will follow. The overall event schedule changes mean that now, racing action will begin for all classes on Saturday, with full championship points awarded in all races.
Gregorio Lavilla, Executive Director WorldSBK Sporting and Organisation departments, said: "Both championships will continue to add a great spectacle to the WorldSBK class, and as with World Superbike, everyone's safety, for both championships, is an absolute priority in returning to action - something that is uncompromisable. WorldSSP and WorldSSP300 will follow the same calendar of WorldSBK and with the same strict guidelines in place, meaning more races will be held for the two support classes than ever before.
"The history of both WorldSSP and WorldSSP300 enriches the atmosphere of the WorldSBK paddock, often providing some of the closest racing all season, as well as allowing the stars of the future to flourish on the world stage."
