The season finale is here! From September 17 to 20, the iconic Circuit Paul Ricard hosts the 89th edition of the Bol d’Or, the high-stakes 24-hour deciding round of the FIM Endurance World Championship.
A grid of 56 teams will line up this Saturday at 3:00 PM to fight for ultimate glory. With six teams still fighting for the top spot, the stakes could not be higher. Coming into the final round with a 19-point lead over their closest rival is the #1 Yamaha. The YART machine leads ahead of the #37 BMW, who lost out on the title in the final minutes of the race in 2025, and the #12 Suzuki, winner of the last three editions. Don’t miss the start of the 2026 edition at 2pm this Saturday!
Non-stop action all weekend long
It’s not just about the main 24-hour race, the weekend in Le Castellet is packed with exciting support events.
The 23rd Bol d’Or Classic brings legendary bikes back to life across two separate two-hour heats. Pre-1984 machinery competes in the Classic category, while 1984–1993 models battle in Post-Classic.
Kicking off the competitive action on Friday afternoon, the 22nd Bol d’Argent features a three-hour roadster battle with 70 crews. In addition, the Maxi-Trails category serves as an explosive opening act showcasing around ten major manufacturers.
