WSC and the FIM are delighted to announce provisional dates for the 2027 season. The ten-round championship will for the first time in recent history, feature three trips to Germany, the first being to a new venue at Geisleden in the centre of the country early in the season. This round is backed up by a return to the tried and tested Strassbessenbach and Rudersberg venues. This growing trend is reflective of the support and enthusiasm generated by recent successes enjoyed by German riders, the most notable being Tim Prummer, ably backed by Adrian Peter, as well as Noah Weinmann, passenger to British teamster Dan Foden.
The opening round, however, is in the deep sand of Lommel, which is a demanding place to start, giving those teams with strong sand ability an early advantage. With no Dutch round currently in the schedule, the Lommel race and its special conditions, takes on even more significance.
Two visits to France will be welcomed by Killian and Evan Prunier, as the series returns to Plomion, scene of their 2024 overall victory for round three, before moving to Vesoul later in the year.
The resurgence of interest in the Baltic countries, partly due to the Latvian Lielbardis twins and other young talent emerging, has brought with it large crowds at trackside and good audience response to the live stream. Big crowds generate revenue for the hard-working organisers and increase public awareness of the sport.
The FIM Quadcross World Championship has also played a part in this, with Kevin Saar, the newly crowned champion hailing from Estonia. The Karksi Nuia venue had its share of adverse weather last year, but still pulled off an amazing weekend, so they are back for more. The same is true of Mickunu MX Park in Lithuania where the debut event in 2026 was an outstanding affair enjoying large spectator attendance.
Home ground for the Lielbardis boys in Latvia is Madona, and the crowds flocked in to see them take a race win last year but fail to clinch the overall result. All three of the Baltic rounds have enthusiastic, commercially aware organisers, eager to put on the best show possible, and the fans are hungry for success. This is the formula for a successful Grand Prix, and the French are masters at it. Without exception, the French fans turn out in their thousands, and make their presence felt all round the track. The added potential to crown the very first French Sidecarcross World Champions only serves to increase the fervour.
Old favourite Kramolin in the Czech Republic is back again and very much a favourite with the teams and Czech fans. A mid-summer date, combined with a spacious campsite and good catering facilities always means a full house.
This ten-round series makes for a meaningful championship, allowing teams to compete in national series, as well as taking time out for training or family holidays.
The provisional dates are listed below with quads at 90% of the events.
