Permanent Team Entry List

Folch Yamaha! MV Agusta! Swedish Kawasaki!

The list of 20 “permanent” teams entered for the full season of the QTEL Endurance FIM World Championship has been announced today by the FIM.

What's New?

Respected Spanish team YMES Folch Endurance Yamaha (Ribalta, Valcaneras, Perez) have signed up for the full season, and MV Agusta might finally have what it takes to make an impact in the shape of Sebastien Scarnato, Patrick Piot and Luca Scassa, riding for the Midi Pyrennees Racing Team

Team World Endurance Kawasaki is a new name and a new bike for the team formerly known as Suzuki Sweden, with Andersson, Notman and Gustavsson. I'm not going to mention Fagersjo-el.se.

  • SERT are unchanged, with Philippe, Lagrive and Da Costa on a GSX-R1000.
  • Yamaha Austria will field Jerman, Cudlin and Steve Martin.
  • Endurance Moto38 return with Millet, Brivet and Gantner.
  • Phase One have confirmed Richards to ride alongside Nowland and Pridmore.
  • Bolliger Kawasaki stick with Morillon, Muff, Saiger and Mizera
  • QERT are now “Qatar Endurance Racing Team (International Junior Team)” - We'll probably shorten it to QERT IJT. They will run in the STK class
  • Diablo list Gary Mason with Hutchins and Cudlin Jnr.

    Remember, much of this – particularly the rider line-ups – could change before Le Mans...

    New Classes

    The entrants are now divided into two classes; EWC for the SuperProduction machines competing for the Endurance World Championship and STK for the SuperStock bikes entered in the Endurance World Cup
