The FIM Asia Road Racing
Championship is excited to release a provisional calendar for the 2021 season comprising
of six rounds.
In a cautious move to give
plenty of buffer for any lingering pandemic-related travel restrictions, the
2021 season will start late, beginning only in June.
The Sepang International
Circuit in Malaysia is expected to host the first two season openers with Round
1 taking place from June 4 to 6, followed quickly by Round 2 from June 11 to
13, 2021. The circus will then travel to the Zhuhai International Circuit
in China for Round 3 from July 30 to August 1 followed by the fourth leg at The
Bend Motorsport Park in Australia from September 23 to 26. Two more
consecutive rounds at the Chang International Circuit in Thailand will wrap up
the season with Round 5 scheduled from November 19 to 21 followed by the season
finale from November 26 to 28, 2021.
Ron Hogg, Director, Two Wheels
Motor Racing
“2020 has been a challenging
year for all sporting events. As the promoters of the FIM Asia Road Racing
Championship, we are grateful to all the racing teams and our corporate
partners for their kind understanding and support,” said Ron Hogg, Director of
Two Wheels Motor Racing.
“While the calendar is still
subject to more changes, we are really looking forward to a great comeback
season in 2021.”
Stephan Carapiet,
President, FIM Asia
“The FIM Asia is very excited
to get the action going again. We believe that a 6-round championship in 2021
will be a great way to get the ball rolling. Here at the FIM Asia, we are fully
committed to the success of the comeback year and pledge our support to all the
stakeholders as they work together to make this happen.”
