A revised schedule will see the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship take place across seven rounds in 2023 .
In light of economic and political conditions around the world , WESS Promotion GmbH have decided to adjust the 2023 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship calendar and reduce the number of races to seven .
Faced with record , 40-year-high inflation rates , among other factors , the goal of this reduced schedule is to help ease financial costs for riders , teams , and organizers , as well as us as championship promoters . This adjustment will ensure that the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship can move in a healthy direction so all involved can best navigate the financially challenging years ahead .
However , the reduction in rounds of the championship does not mean that the series is giving up its international standing . There will still be events outside of Europe . We will continue our obligation to those organizers whose commitment has contributed to the impressive development of the championships .
For the future , and specifically for 2023 , this means that we will reduce the calendar to seven races . Events that cannot be accommodated in 2023 will be considered in 2024 or thereafter . Furthermore , we will race once in North America each year , but alternate between Red Bull Outliers in Canada and Red Bull TKO in the USA .
It is also planned that the 24MX Getzenrodeo and 24MX Hixpania will alternate as the Championship ’ s final event .
In summary , WESS Promotion GmbH is acting proactively , making necessary adjustments in a timely manner for the good of all involved in the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship and thanks those who have and continue to support the championship .
