First details of new FIM Women’s Motorcycling World Championship revealed

The first details of the inaugural FIM Women’s Motorcycling World Championship, which will begin in 2024, have been revealed, with Yamaha machinery powering the class.

The first all-female circuit racing motorcycle racing series was announced back in April, though very little was known about it other than it would form part of the World Superbike support bill in 2024.

On Saturday 28 October at the Jerez WSBK finale, a special press conference was held announcing the first details of the Women’s Motorcycle World Championship.

The season will consist of six rounds following the WSBK paddock through Europe, beginning on the weekend of 14-16 June at Misano.

The championship will take in the UK (12-14 July), Portugal (9-11 August), Hungary (23-25 August), Italy (20-22 September) and Spain (11-13 October) rounds.

There will be two races per weekend across Saturday and Sunday at each event.

Yamaha has been announced as the control manufacturer for the championship, with the Japanese marque providing its YZF-R7 bikes.

A press release from WSBK stated there will be “a single technical and logistical partner [who] will oversee all technical aspects, ensuring a level playing field”.
