FIM President Jorge Viegas, said, “The FIM believes that SX Global has the expertise and know-how to deliver a first-class World Supercross Championship long into the future. Their vision is highly impressive, and the long-term success of this series is in safe hands.”
SX Global co-owner Louis-Dreyfus added, “We look forward to continuing to expand and promote the FIM WSX as we seek innovative and exciting ways to bring the sport to the loyal existing fanbase while welcoming new audiences from across the globe.”
SX Global will officially unveil plans for the upcoming 2024 FIM World Supercross Championship in the coming weeks. CN
