A WorldSBK round packs three races into two days of competition, following practice on Friday.
Saturday is built around the first of the weekend's big races. Riders set the grid in Superpole, WorldSBK's qualifying session, before lining up for the full-length Race 1.
Sunday has a format unique to WorldSBK. The day opens with the Superpole Race — a short 10-lap sprint that scores points in its own right and also sets the grid for Race 2. The full-length Race 2 then closes the weekend.
That three-race structure — one race on Saturday and two on Sunday — means a rider can score points three times per round, and it is the biggest scheduling difference between WorldSBK and a traditional single-race format.
