The 2016 24 Heures Motos was marked by the victory of the no. 11 Kawasaki, which scored its only win of the season at Le Mans, and the return of a Japanese team that clinched third place overall.
The 2016 event also saw the creation of the Women’s Cup as a curtain-raiser to the 24 Heures Motos, a challenge reserved exclusively for women riders in motorbike racing.
The Suzuki Endurance Racing Team (SERT) will be out to defend its 2016 World Championship title and to win back the trophy for victory in the 24 Heures Motos, which it failed to do last year, and to shine again on home turf.
In 2017, the entrants will race on a brand-new track, which was completely resurfaced in October.
In addition to the on-track action the 24 Heures Motos is a fantastic party with numerous forms of entertainment and activities over the three days.
