The Yamaha R7 European Cup SuperFinale returns for its fourth edition at the legendary Bol d’Or, bringing together 29 riders from the national R7 Cups and Challenges across the globe to compete for the title during the final round of the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC) at Circuit Paul Ricard, 17–20 September.
Since its launch in 2022, the Yamaha R7 European Cup SuperFinale has offered young talents and experienced privateers the chance to showcase their skills on an international stage. This year’s edition once again takes place alongside the Bol d’Or, one of endurance racing’s most iconic events, ensuring the R7 riders will perform in front of a passionate crowd and the global spotlight of the concluding round of the EWC season.
The 2025 grid is more diverse than ever, with participants representing 12 countries: Belgium, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Gibraltar, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Switzerland. Riders range in age from 16 to 39, highlighting the broad appeal, and the line-up also includes two female riders. The ultimate reward awaiting the winner is a brand-new Yamaha R7, while the second and third place finishers will take home GYTR performance parts vouchers, courtesy of Yamaha’s GYTR PRO SHOP network.
Throughout the weekend, riders will receive full Yamaha support, from the dedicated R7 village and hospitality services to coaching and guidance. They will also get an exclusive look inside the Yamalube YART Yamaha EWC Official Team pit box, with the chance to meet the riders and gain unique insights into professional endurance racing.
The action begins on Wednesday, 17 September, with safety checks, track familiarisation, and the official briefing. Free Practice follows on Thursday at 13:00, before Qualifying at 16:40. Race 1 is scheduled for Friday at 13:30, while Race 2 will take place on Saturday at 12:10, just before the start of the Bol d’Or. The event will conclude with podium celebrations and then a special award ceremony in the R7 village.
