“A tre ore di volo da Singapore si trovano i mercati motociclistici più grandi del mondo, tra cui Indonesia, Malesia e Tailandia, rendendo il sud-est asiatico una regione estremamente importante per il Campionato mondiale di Supercross mentre continuiamo ad espandere la nostra presenza globale.

Siamo entusiasti di lavorare con lo stesso team al timone del Gran Premio di Singapore di Formula 1, la gara notturna originale che ha stabilito il punto di riferimento per combinare l’attività in pista con spettacoli di intrattenimento e musica di livello mondiale.

About WSX
The FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) is an international championship led by SX Global in Australia. The World Supercross Championship was primarily based in the USA before the world governing body for motorcycle sport, Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), awarded SX Global the exclusive organisational and commercial rights to stage and promote the World Supercross Championship from 2022 onwards. 

Last year, the WSX pilot season was launched at Principality Stadium in Cardiff to over 35,000 fans before it headed down under, where 50,000 fans witnessed the finale across two nights at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. The 2022 championship saw Ken Roczen from Germany win the WSX class, and Shane McElrath from the USA win the SX2 class.

WSX offers the biggest prize money in World Supercross Championship history, with US$250,000 to be won at each round across the two racing classes – WSX (450cc) and SX2 (250cc). Under its independent team franchise model, the championship also features unprecedented financial support for teams and riders.
