It has been announced that the FIM Superenduro World Championship will start to allow electric motorcycles , finally . During the 2023 / 24 season , Barcelon based Stark Future had built a bike that met the regulations and was confirmed as an entrant by the organising body . But less than a day before the opening event in Lievin , France , the FIM changed the regulations specifically to stop the Varg from racing . The FIM has again changed the regulations ahead of the first round of the new season , which is scheduled to run on December 14th in Poland - this time to allow electric motorcycles to compete , though in the prestige class only at this stage .
It has emerged that Liberty Media cannot , apparently , fully afford the acquisition of MotoGP and WorldSBK rights holder Dorna Sports ( Madrid , Spain ) after all . It is selling over 10 million shares in Formula1 in order to complete funding of the $ 4.2bn MotoGP purchase .
Akrapovic has extended its Honda Racing Corporation ( HRC ) partnership with a new multi-year deal to collaborate in the FIM World Rally-Raid Championship - equipping the Monster Energy Honda Team CRF450 RALLY motorbikes with lightweight and performanceoriented titanium exhaust systems .
