* '''2013''': Following the previous TTXGP format, a four-round European and four-round North American championship will culminate with a single world final. This final will be held in Asia, where a World Cup winner will be crowned.
* '''2014''': The format will change, as a transition to becoming a World Championship which will follow a traditional format of accumulated points with no world final. The World Championship will follow a world calendar of at least six events again supporting the FIM’s existing road racing series.
* '''2015''': The series is expected to be promoted to a World Championship with its own global calendar.

Main article: 2013 FIM eRoad Racing World Cup season

The 2013 eRoadRacing World Cup was planned to consist of 4 races in Europe and 4 in North America, with a world final in Asia. However, only 6 events (4 in Europe and 2 in North America) did actually take place. The remaining races had to be cancelled because time constraints didn't allow the organizers to find suitable venues.[2] Since there was no World Final, two separate winners were announced for the two series: Ho Chi Fung (Zongshen, China) for the European series and Eric Bostrom (Icon Brammo, USA) for the North American series.[3]

Cancellation

[edit]

There was a road map for the following two years, that would eventually have led to a full World Championship. However, the series was not continued in 2014. [4]

Eventually, in 2018, the FIM announced a European championship, promoted by Dorna, the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, to begin in 2019. The events will be short races on five different European stops on the MotoGP season.
