seen tremendous interest from
well-established and respected
organizations. We've designed
the series to feature between six
and eight teams, for a total of 12
to 16 riders, and with these first
three agreements, we've already
filled almost half the grid. It's
a strong signal that confirms
the momentum and excitement
surrounding this project. We're
moving quickly to bring this
championship to life and can't
wait to hit the track in 2026. It's
going to be loud, competitive,
and unlike anything fans have
ever seen before."
