Weston Beach Race stands strong on its own as FIM Sand Races World Cup Calendar changes
By Team TMX on 12th Jul 24
In a change to the calendar, the third round of the 2024 FIM Sand Races World Cup will now be staged on 27-28 October in Loon Plage, France, as part of the Ronde des Sables de Loon Plage, round two of the French Sand Races Championship.
This event replaces the Weston Beach Race in Great Britain that was originally scheduled for October 12-13.
Jean-François Wulveryck, Director of the FIM Cross Country Commission (CTT), said: “The FIM would like to particularly thank the French Motorcycling Federation (FFM), the local organiser Moto Club du Littoral and all stakeholders for their support in maintaining the six events as planned for 2024 in order to provide a fair championship for the riders, teams and manufacturers involved. The FIM would also like to thank the Auto-Cycle Union Ltd (ACU) for its collaboration and hopes to welcome Great Britain to the Sand Races calendar in the future.”
It's assumed that the Weston Beach Race will run as a stand alone event as it has done very succesfully since 1983.
