The World Supercross Championship (WSX) has adjusted their calendar for 2023, which can now function three rounds of competitors. In addition to the British Grand Prix, which was run in early July and won by Ken Roczen within the 450 class and Shane McElrath in 250s, the season will proceed with the Abu Dhabi GP on November 4 and the Australian GP on November 24-25.

The 2023 WSX Singaporean, German, and Canadian Grands Prix have been faraway from the schedule.

“Singapore, Germany, and Canada remain crucial growth markets for WSX, and we intend to return to each of those markets very soon,” mentioned Global SX CEO Adam Bailey in a press launch. “[The 2023 season] was to be WSX’s first foray into these markets and we need to make sure that we do every of those essential markets absolute justice.”

The schedule change comes after information that the World Supercross Championship underwent a sale to a brand new funding group that features Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and Juan Sartori, who will even be part of Bailey as a part of the management group.

Luis-Dreyfus is a French businessman with ties to skilled soccer. He bought a controlling stake within the Sunderland Football Club in 2022.

“We’ve identified exciting opportunities for the burgeoning championship and can’t wait to further showcase the thrill of the sport and talent of these amazing athletes to more people around the world,” Luis-Dreyfus said at the time. “While we aspire to expand and elevate WSX to become a globally renowned championship, we also recognize the need for immediate short-term changes to ensure a brighter future. There’s a lot of work to do, but we’re excited for the challenge.”

Satori is a co-owner of the Sunderland membership with Louis-Dreyfus. A profitable businessman in Uruguay, he’s additionally a senator in that nation in addition to being the President and founding father of Union-Group, a privately owned funding agency that holds vital pursuits throughout an array of industries worldwide.

With one race within the books, Ken Roczen leads the championship points as he looks to defend his 2022 title.

“We want to do everything to the highest standard, and to ensure that every WSX experience is a fantastic and memorable one,” Bailey mentioned. “In keeping with this mantra, the new ownership group decided these calendar revisions were required at this time. The recency of the ownership change has created logistical challenges that are difficult to overcome in a matter of weeks.

“Therefore, we’ll instead refocus to make sure the 2023 Abu Dhabi and Melbourne WSX events are executed to the best possible level, and to continue the important progress of building the championship for 2024 and beyond. The 2023 WSX Abu Dhabi & Australian Grands Prix remain on-sale and the demand has been very strong. It is all systems go for both events and they are shaping up to be our best events yet, with plenty of compelling and exciting racing still to come before our 2023 FIM World Supercross Champions are crowned.”
