WorldSSP300 set to expand for 2019

WorldSBK's SSP300 junior class will expand for the 2019 season and be included in the Qatar season finale for the first time.

With the WorldSSP300 entry list increasing for 2019, participants will be separated into two groups of riders for both Free Practice and Qualifying. At the end of Qualifying, the top 30 on the combined timesheets will make up Sunday’s grid.

For all riders who qualify outside of the top 30, they will be granted one final opportunity to line up on the grid. Saturday afternoon will welcome a ‘last chance’ race, and the top six over the line will compete in Sunday’s main race.

“We have been delighted by the success of the WorldSSP300 series since the inaugural season back in 2017, and we are always looking for ways to offer greater experience for riders out on track," said charismatic sporting director Gregorio Lavilla.

"By bringing in this new format, we are giving young riders more track time, more opportunities to impress, and plenty more chances to entertain the fans. WorldSSP300 will be racing outside of the European Rounds in 2019, which we feel is a natural step in the expansion.

"Our long-term goal is to see young talents grow, and to make this a true feeder class into WorldSSP and ultimately, WorldSBK.”
