Suzuka 8 Hours gets earlier July date for 2024
The Suzuka 8 Hours, part of the FIM Endurance World Championship, will be held on 19-21 July next year, two weeks earlier than usual, to avoid a clash with the Olympic Games in Paris. This will be the earliest date for the race in the 21st century. Normally, the race takes place in July, but it was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. The Suzuka 8 Hours is a celebration of the Japanese motorcycle industry and attracts worldwide interest and a large fan following. Honda scored its 29th victory in the race this year, but it remains uncertain if Kawasaki and Yamaha will have full works efforts in 2024. The complete EWC calendar will be announced at a later date.
