EWC-Endurance World Championship

The FIM Endurance World Championship is the ultimate high-speed test of rider and machine.

It’s regulated by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme and promoted by Discovery Sports Events under a long-term agreement with the governing body.

EWC races last from between eight hours to 24 hours and all must include day and night action.

Each team consists of three riders with a fourth rider nominated as a reserve. All riders must qualify and get the opportunity to practice during the day and at night.

Since Discovery Sports Events was appointed by FIM as championship promoter in 2015, the EWC has enjoyed a huge increase in media coverage and audience figures with races broadcast live around the world.

Six bike manufacturers (BMW, Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha) and three tyre brands (Bridgestone, Dunlop and Pirelli) are represented with more and more international-level riders and teams joining the grid each year.

One of the notable features of EWC races is the spectacular standing start with riders lining up on one side of the track and sprinting across to the other to jump on their bikes before accelerating towards the first corner as the race begins.
