FIM ENEL MotoE™ World Championship
The MotoE™ World Championship was back for its sixth season in 2024 . And it was more exciting than ever thanks to a host of exciting new names and teams joining the series .
MotoE™ received the double boost of new World Championship status in 2023 , as well as welcoming Ducati as the sole bike supplier , with the impressive V21L prototype breaking race and lap records throughout the year .
And in 2024 , there was a thrilling championship battle containing as many as six different names to keep audiences on the edges of their seats , with the fight between Hector Garzo , Kevin Zannoni , Matti Casadei and Oscar Gutierrez going right the way down to the final round – the sixth straight time MotoE™ has delivered such a conclusion .
Like last season , the World Championship was contested over eight rounds and 16 races , with the series kicking off in Portugal at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in March . Trips to Le Mans , and the Circuit of Barcelona-Catalunya followed in May , before Mugello and Assen hosted rounds four and five in June . The Sachsenring hosted round six , the Red Bull Ring round seven before Misano rounds off the year .
There were a total of five nationalities and 18 entrants for the 2024 running . And Garzo was the pick of the bunch . The Spaniard ’ s midseason push resulted in four wins and he was able to wrap up the title with the necessary fourth place in the first race in Misano for his maiden world title .
Garzo may have won the title with a race to spare . But his quest was rarely straightforward . Reigning Champion Casadei , now with LCR E-Team , pushed him hardest , while rookie superstar Gutierrez lit up the series in 2024 riding for the new Axxis-MSI squad and could have well won the crown , but for an agonising crash out of the lead in the second Austrian bow .
Further challenges were offered by Openbank Aspar Team ’ s Zannoni has enjoyed his best ever season , scoring five podiums , while Tech3 E-Racing duo Alessandro Zaccone and Nicholas Spinelli , both race winners this year , as well as 2020 and 2021 Cup winner Jordi Torres ( Openbank Aspar Team ), and first ever Cup winner Matteo Ferrari ( Felo Gresini MotoE™ ).
