FIM MiniGP World Final regulations and partners announce

The regulations for the World Final are released, with the event set to be broadcast live and welcome new partners

The FIM MiniGP World Series began earlier this season, and the first World Final will soon be taking place just ahead of the MotoGP™ season finale in Valencia. The regulations for the event, both sporting and technical, can now be released.

The Sporting Regulations are applicable solely to the World Final, ensuring fair competition for the field, and are presented alongside the technical regulations. The technical regulations come into force for the World Final, but will also apply to each national/regional/continental series from 2022 on. Each national/regional/continental series is responsible for defining and enforcing their own sporting regulations in accordance with the standards indicated in the 2022 Participants Guide.

In addition, a number of partners were announced alongside the new FIM MiniGP World Series project: Ohvale is the official motorcycle of the series, Motul provides lubricants, and Pirelli are the official tyre supplier, with each partner committed to ensuring the maximum accessibility via special pricing for FIM MiniGP World Series competitors for their respective Cups.

All three partners will also play a lead role in the FIM MiniGP World Series Final in Valencia, which will be broadcast live on Thursday the 11th of November. For the one-off event, all products will be provided to riders on site, ensuring competitors are able to arrive at the World Final focused solely on the event and the experience it offers.

Ohvale will provide the motorcycles, racing services and spare parts for all competitors at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Motul will provide lubricants and Pirelli will provide the tyres for each competitor.

Dorna Sports has also reached an agreement with a number of new partners in order to provide competitors in the World Final with everything they will need to compete equally and safely.

I-Power will provide racing suits, boots, gloves and back and chest protectors for all riders. Helmet manufacturer KYT will provide each rider with a helmet, ensuring every competitor has world-class protection and perfectly-fitted equipment.

BETA will provide the tools for the World Final, and Panta will be the official fuel – providing their products to each competitor at the event.

The FIM and Dorna Sports are proud to partner with such iconic brands, and of the opportunity each affords to the riders now beginning their Road to MotoGP™. Each and every competitor will now be able to arrive at the FIM MiniGP World Series Final and will be provided with a motorcycle, lubricants, tyres, protective equipment and fuel to race for free at the event.

The track activity for World Final begins on Wednesday the 10th of November at 09:30 CET with Free Practice sessions. Racing begins on Thursday at 10:45, with four races culminating in the Super Final race at 14:00, which is worth double points. Each race on Thursday will be broadcast live, so make sure to tune in as the newest path on the Road to MotoGP™ sees out the season in style!
