RECORD-BREAKING 41 PERMANENT TEAMS SIGN UP FOR EWC ACTION

A record-breaking 41 permanent teams are set for action when the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship fires up in France next week.

The sky-high list for the 24 Heures Motos (17-20 April) is the highest number achieved since Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports became EWC promoter in 2015 under a long-term agreement with governing body the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme.

It’s also a reflection of WBD Sports’ tireless endeavour in transforming the EWC with an unrivalled live TV product and much more besides, achievements that have grown the popularity and widespread appeal of the EWC to new heights.

While permanent team status doesn’t require outfits to contest all four EWC events, it does provide them with myriad administrative and logistical benefits, plus coverage on the EWC’s official website and social media channels.

Jean-Baptiste Ley, Motorsport Events Director at WBD Sports, said: “Launching the 46th EWC season with a record-breaking 41 permanent teams is a fantastic achievement and further raises the expectations for an unmissable year ahead. It’s significant that three of those teams have entered the all-new, production-based FIM Endurance World Trophy, which provides a more accessible and more affordable route into the championship. We’re also very pleased to welcome eight new teams and three teams that are returning to the EWC. This underlines the benefits of participation but also the attractiveness of the championship to outfits with differing levels of experience and resource.”

1. Yoshimura SERT Motul (Formula EWC)
2. T2C Racing (Superstock)
