The Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi will host the final race of the FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) in the series’ upcoming 2024 season, SX Global, the official promoters of the championship said.
The emirate first hosted WSX last season and attracted global crowds for one of the most thrilling events of 2023 which saw Roczen, Joey Savatgy, Dean Wilson, and Vince Friese go-head-to-head in a spectacular evening of racing.
With this year’s event taking place just four days before the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the WSX 2024 finale is expected to attract even a higher number of international audiences.
Alongside confirming Abu Dhabi as the location of this season’s climax, FIM WSX also revealed its full provisional schedule for the year ahead.
The campaign is due to start on October 26 at the BC Place stadium in Vancouver, Canada, before heading to Perth, Australia, on 23-24 November for a double-header event at HBF Park.
After the WSX Australian Grand Prix, the series will then head to Abu Dhabi where a World Champion will be crowned on December 4.
Andy Edwards, SX Global Executive Chairman, said, “After the success of last year’s event, we’re delighted to be heading back to Abu Dhabi and the Etihad Arena in 2024.
“This time around, the incredible venue will host the deciding round of the championship, and that spectacle is sure to have fans out of their seats, with the action at full throttle until the very last lap.”
Ali Al Beshr, Motorsport Development Executive Director at Ethara, said they are thrilled to announce the return of the World Supercross Championship Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi for the second consecutive year.
“With the event taking place during the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix’s Race Week, motorsport fans can enjoy back-to-back thrilling action, with the chance to experience two World Championship finals in one week,” he said.
