Hixpania added to 2023 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship

Spanish classic added to HEWC tour as Roof of Africa rally removed from schedule.
The FIM Hard Enduro World Championship calendar got a tiny shakeup ahead of the opening round of the series – the Xross in Serbia on May 17-20. With uncertainty regarding the organisation of the Roof of Africa event, that has now been canned and replaced by the Hixpania Hard Enduro which will run on October 13-15 in Aguilar de Campoo.
“We are disappointed that we had to drop the Roof of Africa from this year’s world championship calendar,” admits series manager Winfried Kerschhaggl. “Losing the trusted and planned organiser seven months ahead of the event, we simply ran out of avenues to ensure a successful running of the race. Hopefully, in the near future, we will travel to Lesotho.
“Parallel to those discussions we were able to find a replacement to round six with the 24MX Hixpania Hard Enduro. The event and the organising family have always been very close to us and proved a tremendous success in the world championship and the highlights of the 2022 season finale are still fresh in our minds.
“Initially we had intended to return to Aguilar de Campoo in 2024, but by bringing things forward 12 months it will further strengthen the 2023 championship with some incredible racing.”
