All sporting calendars of the various motorsport disciplines were approved at the last meeting of the Management Council in Belgrade. This meeting was combined with the prize-giving ceremony of the Balkan Motorcycle Union, where riders of all ages received their awards.
As we mentioned in the previous press releases, in Road Racing the new events will be the CEV Repsol EC Championship, the Stock 250 in the Alpe Adria Championship, which is open on affordable road race bikes to young riders from all Federations.
As for Motocross, there will be events in all European zones and the final in Kegums (Latvia), and the various European Championship classes will race in combination with the MXGP. Quads will race in combination with Sidecar World Championship and also in combination with 65/85 EC. At the beginning of 2015 FIM Europe will sign a sponsor contract for the European Championship Quads.
The European Motocross of Nations, also for Women, will be open to other CONUs. The Sidecarcross /Quadcross of European Nations in Schwedt (Germany) in October will also be open to riders from other Continents.
All new is the Motocross Hillclimb European Championship in Kivioli (Estonia), on Saturday evening between the training and races of the World Championship Sidecars and European Cham- pionship Quads.
Calendars in Enduro, Track Race, Dragbikes, Trial and also for the several Vintage Cups will be well divided all over Europe, with many events.
After the cancellation in the latest years of the European Championship of Motoball, the new Series will be held in Germany, from 20-25 May (Final on May 25th) in Kuppenheim (Germany). The event will be a must for fans of football in combination with motorsport.
The attention to Mini Road Racing on European level was decreasing during the last years, but in 2015 two races for the European Championship will be organised in Italy and in the Netherlands. Both events will take place in August, which is important, because it will be holiday time for young riders taking part to the different classes. For the races in Assen a special TT Junior track will be developed, near the famous TT Circuit. In the week before the race all riders will be welcome for free training and sessions with special trainers. Hopefully the riders of many Federations will take part in these two events.
«I am very satisfied with the well prepared sporting calendars in all disciplines», said Martin de Graaff, President of FIM Europe Sporting Council. «Thanks to all hard working FIM Europe Commissions and Officials for their contribution in 2014 and for what has been achieved for 2015, in good cooperation with our member Federations and our Promoters».
