BSB set for qualifying shake-up

British Superbikes
The new format is similar to that used in Formula One

The British Superbike Championship is to introduce a new qualifying format in the round at Cadwell Park over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Grid positions are currently decided in a single 50-minute qualifying session.

The new format will have three shorter sessions with the slowest riders being eliminated before the top 10 battle for pole position in the final session.

BSB organisers hope it will mean fewer spells when there is no action on track, particularly in bad weather.
