MOTOAMERICA ANNOUNCES 2016 SCHEDULE
A
couple of weeks after MotoAmerica's debut sea-
son finale in New Jersey, the series has released
its provisional 2016 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North
American Road Racing Championship schedule.
The series will once again kick of its season in
conjunction with the MotoGP World Championship
at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.
Six additional rounds have been secured and
MotoAmerica is working to add two more events
to the schedule to make it a nine-round series, to
match the number of events in 2015.
"We've been working hard to nail down a
schedule as soon as possible because we know
how important it is to the teams, sponsors and
fans," said MotoAmerica partner Chuck Aksland.
"Right now we have seven events ready to go. The
seven rounds we have secured are racetracks we
visited this year. We were pleased with our events
at those facilities and the tracks are happy to have
us return in 2016. The schedule will continue to
grow in the coming weeks."
One the venues absent on the schedule is the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which was lost
as a result of the venue being dropped from the
MotoGP calendar.
In addition to the Superbike/Superstock 1000,
Supersport and Bazzaz Superstock 600 class,
the KTM RC Cup Series will also return to the
MotoAmerica Series for 2016. A schedule for that
series will be available at a later date. CN
