Yamaha Motor Europe is delighted to unveil the calendar for the 2022 Yamaha R3 bLU cRU European Cup, which will once again support the FIM Superbike World Championship at six rounds.
After a successful inaugural season, excitement is already building for the second edition of the Yamaha R3 bLU cRU European Cup with a high interest from around the world. Already, youngsters from Australia, North America and South America, alongside Europe, have registered their interest, as they look to take a step towards the pinnacle of motorcycle racing with Yamaha.
The 2022 campaign will get underway with a pre-season test at MotorLand Aragón on 18 March, where the youngsters, aged 14-20 for this year, will have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with their Yamaha R3 bikes.
The Spanish venue will also host round one of the Yamaha R3 bLU cRU European Cup on 8-9 April, before heading to Assen in The Netherlands on 22-23 April. The paddock will then have a six week break, returning at Misano on 10-11 June, which hosted the first-ever round of the championship earlier this year. In July, the youngsters will race at Donington Park (15-16 July) and Most (29-30 July), with Magny-Cours hosting the finale on 9-10 September, where the second title-winner will be crowned.
The race weekend format will follow the same schedule as it did in 2021, with a 30-minute Free Practice session followed by a Superpole qualifying session. There will be two chances to fight for victory each weekend, with both races taking place on Saturday.
Whoever comes out on top at the end of the year will earn a supported ride into the FIM Supersport 300 World Championship with Yamaha for next season. Second in the standings will be offered a wildcard entry into the WorldSSP300 for the following season, as well as a 50 percent discount on their 2023 Yamaha R3 bLU cRU European Cup registration, which will also be awarded to the rider who finishes third.
