Jean-Baptiste Ley – Director of motorsport events at Warner Bros Discovery Sports
“We are delighted to be able to count on the four pillar events once again as the mainstays of the EWC in 2025. Not only do these events continue to bring many unmissable moments to people fans but also provides a level of stability that allows EWC to grow from strength to strength.
“However, we remain committed to expanding the EWC calendar and continue to work towards that goal. Currently, this is not practical due to the increasing costs of teams, even with the strong logistical support that WBD Sports has provided in the past. Therefore, in close cooperation with the FIM, we have focused our development on strengthening the EWC pyramid and consolidating the endurance foundation. This is essential to nurture new talent and ensure the continued growth of endurance racing.
“Given the significant increase in performance and professionalism between EWC and Superstock teams in recent years, it is important for WBD Sports to focus its efforts on keeping the championship affordable as affordable and accessible as possible for newcomers. With a successful four-race format and the creation of the new FIM Production Cup, the EWC now provides a platform for all categories of teams: from the smallest, passionate privateers who have written some of the stories the most inspiring humanities in endurance racing, to the top manufacturer-supported teams who deliver incredible spectacles and thrilling battles every season.”
Paul King – Director of the FIM Circuit Racing Committee
“By announcing the 2025 FIM EWC calendar so soon after the 2024 season ends, we are not only giving riders and teams the opportunity to really start preparing for next year, but we are also building on on the positive momentum created throughout 2024.
“WBD Sports has delivered a calendar that provides vital stability through the inclusion of four tried and trusted events that have plenty of appeal and are held to a very high standard. At the same time, while we recognize the ambition to expand the calendar in the coming years, it is important to focus on developing the EWC pyramid as a means of further strengthening the discipline through the creation of New FIM Production World Cup.
“We are also delighted that riders and teams from the new Yamaha R7 Endurance Series will have the opportunity to experience the EWC as a support race over two events before they hopefully consider following the path to the top of endurance racing that the pyramid created.”
