The 2024 FIM Women's Motorcycling World Championship is the inaugural season of the FIM Women's Motorcycling World Championship (WorldWCR). It is the premier female only circuit racing series. Riders compete on identical Yamaha YZF-R7 . The 6 rounds are run as support races for the European rounds of the Superbike World Championship . Each format of each round is a Superpole qualifying session of Friday, Race 1 on Saturday and Race 2 on Sunday.[1]
Testing
A two-day test was held at the Cremona racing circuit, Lombardy , Italy, in May with Ana Carrasco topping the timesheets.[2]
Race calendar and results
The initial schedule included Balaton Park Circuit , Hungary on 23–25 August,[3] but this was later dropped as track improvements would not be completed on time, with Circuito do Estoril , Portugal added on 11–13 October.[4] Scheduled rounds are:[5]
^ Pole for race one set by Superpole, pole for Race 2 set by fastest lap in Race 1
^ Subject to homologation
