FIM MiniGP Series
Following an extremely successful inaugural year in 2022 and significant improvements in Spain for our top riders in 2023, Ohvale Australia is excited for the continual development of the FIM MiniGP Australia Series in 2024. The FIM MiniGP Australia Series will continue to offer two classes for riders from 10-16 years for the 2024 season with five rounds to be held across four states. Once again, the top riders from each of the classes will be given the opportunity to participate in the FIM world Series Final that will take place during the week of the FIM MotoGP World Championship’s final season event. The winner of the FIM MiniGP World Series Final will secure a spot in one of the Road to MotoGP Programs*.
The purpose of the FIM MiniGP World Series is to provide a competitive race series aimed for junior development, and a direct path for a Road to MotoGP Program. With world-wide regulation, control tyres, sealed engines and all participants on the same bike, ensures that there is a level playing field.
