[admin]

It’s November.

2023’s FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC) just concluded in September. We’re now 171 days away from the 2024 season, and the schedule for the 45th season of our beloved EWC is officially out!

Heads up, FIM/Discovery Sports Events’ recent press release (published to Roadracing world) tells us that some adjustments have been made regarding the integration of Suzuka 8 Hours. Here’s the most recent update on what we’ve got for the season’s rounds:

Round 1: 18-21 April​ 24 Heures Motos (Le Mans, France) Round 2: 6-8 June​ 8 Hours of Spa Motos (Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium) Round 3: 18-21 July​ 45th Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Race, Japan Round 4: 12-15 September​ Bol d’Or (Circuit Paul Ricard, France)

Every single one of these rounds will generate an eligible rider/team for the coveted FIM Endurance World Championship and FIM Endurance World Cup with teams counting their best three scores.

Naturally, EWC Series’ Director for promoter Warner Bros Discovery Sports is delighted at the upcoming docket:

Although expanding the calendar to include a fifth round remains a long-term target, it’s vital that we deliver a schedule that is accessible and achievable in practical and financial terms. The 2024 calendar achieves both and we look forward to another action-packed season.”

… the Suzuka 8 Hours will form part of the FIM Endurance World Cup schedule although Superstock teams will count their best three scores across the year, meaning participation in this event is not mandatory.”
