Yamaha’s all-new R7 Endurance Series will be a support race at two European rounds of the FIM Endurance World Championship in 2025, serving as a potential starting point for riders and teams considering climbing the EWC pyramid in the future.
The all-new Yamaha R7 Endurance Series will provide a platform for riders and teams to progress from national to international level.
Using the Yamaha R7 motorcycle on tyres from a controlled supplier, the Yamaha R7 Endurance Series will be contested over long-distance races at Le Mans and Spa-Francorchamps.
This will give contenders the chance to experience an EWC event with the view of entering the championship as permanent teams in future seasons.
The Yamaha R7 Endurance Series is open to all regardless of age and experience, either racing for a team or on a purely privateer basis.
Speaking at last month's announcement during the Bol d'Or weYamaha's Andrea Dosoli said: “We are delighted to enter into this partnership with the FIM and Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe for the new Yamaha R7 Endurance Series. The R7 is the latest in Yamaha’s R-series range of bikes, combining the perfect blend of agile handling and sports performance that has already proved itself as the perfect entry-level racing platform. This has been demonstrated by the success of the numerous national Yamaha R7 Cups and Challenges Europe-wide, that culminate in the R7 European Cup SuperFinale, which, for the first time this year, took place alongside the final round of the EWC season at the Bol d’Or. This new Series will strengthen our relationship with the EWC even further and give people an affordable and accessible way to make the step up from racing at the national level and experience the thrills and challenges of endurance racing in front of a global audience.”
