The Racing Commission made the decision to award double points for the final two races of the season to be held in Estoril on 29-31 October.[1][7]
Calendar changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic
The provisional 2021 season calendar was announced on 7 January 2021, with 8 rounds scheduled. This included two rounds with the FIM Endurance World Championship, the 24 Heures Motos and Bol d'Or events, an unconfirmed round on 23 - 25 April, but not the two Superbike World Championship events.[5] On 9 February 2021 it was announced that the World Sidecar Championship would no longer be part of the 2021 Bol d'Or event due to a lack of sufficient track time and facilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated problems.[8]
Calendar expansions and changes from 2019 to 2021
The championship will return to Donington Park after a five-year absence. Along with Dutch round, this will be the first time since Spain 2014 that the World Sidecar Championship will be part of a Superbike World Championship round.[9]
Similarly, the championship will return to Brands Hatch after a six-year absence, again, as part of a British Superbike event.[10]
The Portuguese round at the Circuito do Estoril, made its debut as the final event of the 2019 championship and has been scheduled again as the final event in 2021.[1]
The remaining four events of the 2021 calendar were all part of the 2019 championship.[11]
Championship changes
The 2020 World Championship was due to be the first organised and run by new series promoter, RKB-F1 Motorsport[12] who was brought on by the FIM to run the World Championship after successfully running the British F1 Sidecar championship for several years. However, RKB-F1 Motorsport and the FIM were forced to cancel the 2020 World Championship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The 2021 World Championship will be this first to be organised and run by RKB-F1 Motorsport.
Race Weekend Structure
Previously the World Championship utilised two race formats; a Gold Race that was a minimum of 70km (43.5mi) and maximum of 85km (52.8mi) in length; and a Sprint Race that was a minimum of 35km (21.7mi) and maximum of 45km (28mi) in length.[13] Rounds would then consist of either, a single Gold Race or both a Gold Race and a Sprint Race. For the 2021 World Championship each round will consist of two races of equal length that is a minimum of 70km (43.5mi) and maximum of 85km (52.8mi) in length.[14]

The Sidecar World Championship will continue to use the MotoGP style points system, with points being awarded down to 15th place. For the final round of the 2021 World Champions the points allocated, for both races, will be multiplied by a factor of 1.5.[14]
Technical Regulations
Although not outlawed explicitly previously, the use of a Drive-By-Wire system has been confirmed as legal for the 2021 championship.[14]
