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.

“Firstly, it is a great satisfaction that we can announce a safe return to racing for all three classes," said boss Greg Lavilla.

"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.

"2020 has provided its obstacles but thanks to the hard work, tenacity and determination of all parties involved, we will return to the world’s circuits with all three classes.

"We now look forward hugely to the recommencement of racing at Jerez, whilst welcoming back all corners of the racing paddock.”
