Road map
The road map for the first three years looks as follows:[1]
- 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.
2013 calendar
The 2013 eRoadRacing World Cup will consist of 4 races in Europe and 4 in North America, with a world final in Asia. While 6 events are already known, 2 more and the final are expected to be announced later.[2]
