The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Endurance World Championship (EWC) is the premier motorcycle endurance racing series sanctioned by the FIM. It showcases teams and riders competing on modified production motorcycles in grueling races that can last up to 24 hours.

History and Format

The FIM EWC traces its roots to the 1960 Bol d'Or 24-hour race in France. In 1980, the FIM established the Endurance World Championship, which initially featured races in Europe and Japan. Over the years, the series has expanded to include events worldwide.

The EWC season typically consists of 5-7 races, each lasting 6-24 hours. The races take place on a variety of circuits, including road courses, oval tracks, and even street circuits.

Teams and Motorcycles

Teams in the FIM EWC field modified production motorcycles that are based on models available to the public. These motorcycles undergo extensive modifications to enhance their performance and durability for endurance racing.

Teams typically consist of 3-4 riders who share the riding duties throughout the race. Each rider has a specific role, such as a starter, a specialist in certain sectors of the track, or a fuel-saving expert.

Racing Format and Strategy

EWC races are grueling tests of endurance, both for the riders and the machines. The races start with a rolling start, and riders complete as many laps as possible within the allotted time.

Teams employ various strategies to optimize their performance. They may choose to pit frequently for fuel and tire changes, or they may opt for longer stints to minimize pit stops. Fuel consumption and tire management are critical factors in endurance racing.

Scoring and Championships

Points are awarded based on the finishing position of each team. The team with the highest cumulative points at the end of the season is crowned the FIM EWC Champion.

In addition to the overall championship, there are also separate championships for different classes of motorcycles, such as Superstock and Experimental.
