A new world series sponsored by FIM and Dorna Sports, which will unite the disparate children’s championships and give their participants clear goals for the future, will start this coming weekend, April 25, with the first final taking place in the fall of 2021. All series under the FIM MiniGP umbrella will be held according to unified technical and administrative regulations, and all will have a single technical partner and motorcycle supplier, due to which the cost of participation in the race should be significantly reduced.
