Fast Eddy brings 2017 Enduro World Championship to Hawkstone Park The announcement of the 2017 Enduro World Championship dates contained the exciting news that the series will include an Enduro Grand Prix of Great Britain organised by the Fast Eddy Racing team. In order to take Enduro into new territories while making it more attractive and also to meet the wishes of manufacturers, the new race format of Fast Eddy Sprint and GBXC will be hosted against the magnificent backdrop of Hawkstone Park on the 23/24th September 2017. During 2015 several meetings were organised at the request and with the manufacturers about the future of the Maxxis FIM Enduro World Championship. At the last meeting held in Geneva on 15 January 2016, the FIM, the promoter ABC Communication and all the manufacturers have found a consensus and reached a comprehensive and unanimous agreement for the creation of categories EnduroGP and Enduro2 from the 2017 season onwards. • EnduroGP: Over 250cc - 2 or 4 stroke. • Enduro2: Up to 250cc Moto - 2 or 4 stroke. The categories FIM Junior, 125cc Youth and Women remain unchanged. The former two categories of these are more than ever the future of the sport and provide the best springboard to the highest level, which is now defined as EnduroGP. All these new measures, made in consultation with the motorcycle industry, aim to provide a better understanding of Enduro and are designed to increase the profile of the discipline. Additionally, an Enduro race in winter conditions staged in Finland will be integrated into the calendar in 2017. 2017 Provisional Calendar 25/26 March : GP of Finland (Helsinki – Päijänne) * 21/23 April : GP of Spain (Puerto Lumbreras) - Women Class 26/28 May : GP of Italy (Spoleto) - Women Class 16/18 June : GP of Hungary (Parádfürdó) - Women Class 23/25 June : GP of Slovakia (Puchov) 21/23 July : GP of Mexico (Valle del Bravo) TBC 23/24 September : GP of United Kingdom (Hawkstone Park) ** 29 Sept / 1 Oct : GP of France (Place TBA) - Women Class 20/22 October : GP of Germany (Zschoppau) Dates de réserve: 29/30 avril et 7/8 octobre.
