regulations. New for 2024, there
are two categories of competi

tion, with the larger Hyperbikes
(prototype 7kwh-max machines
using a standard MX wheel-
base) joined by a lighter-weight
GT class, based upon regular
production models and weighing
below 112kg.
Team HRC's duo will cam-
paign the CR Electric Proto in the
