The FIM Women's Motorcycling World Championship (Official name is FIM Women's Circuit Racing World Championship or simply shortened as WorldWCR) is a race series created by the FIM as a women-only racing class run alongside the Superbike World Championship. The inaugural season in 2024 will be held over six rounds at selected European circuits.[1]
The format will be a qualifying session with Superpole lap and two races per venue.[2]
The 25,000€ entry fee covers use of a GYTR race-kitted 2023 Model Year Yamaha YZF R7 and basic essentials, such as Pirelli tyres, fuel and racing service.[3][4]
2024 season edit
A provisional entry list for the Women's Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR) was released in February by selecting 24 participants from an initial 40-plus entries.[5]
A two-day test was held at the Cremona racing circuit, Lombardy, Italy, in May with Ana Carrasco topping the timesheets.[6]
On 3 June, María Herrera was announced as an entry to the championship.[7] On 4 June, it was announced that all races would be streamed live and free-of-charge via the championship's YouTube channel.[8]
