Why 1’s the magic number for 24H SPA EWC Motos

The eagerly anticipated 24H SPA EWC Motos, round two of the 2022 FIM Endurance World Championship, has a new start time. Having waited for more 21 years for a round of the EWC to be flagged off at the iconic Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, the wait is slightly shorter than expected with 1pm (13h00 CET) the new start time for the big race on Saturday 4 June.

Ad/> The new start time is one hour earlier than originally scheduled and is in response to live broadcast requirements. With the race scheduled for 24 hours, the finish will now be at 13h00 CET on Sunday 5 June.
