WorldWCR 2025: Global Talent, One Mission
The FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR) returns for its second season in 2025, bringing with it a powerful message: racing is for everyone.
After a breakthrough debut year in 2024, the championship continues its mission to promote inclusivity, sporting excellence, and opportunity in motorcycle racing. This season, the grid features 24 riders representing 14 nationalities from every corner of the globe—proof that the reach of WorldWCR is as global as its ambition.
A Level Playing Field: All About Rider Skill
One of the series’ most compelling aspects is its single-make format. Every rider races aboard a Yamaha YZF-R7, prepped and maintained by a unified technical team. This structure ensures total equality in machinery, shifting the focus squarely to rider skill and racecraft.
If last season was anything to go by—where races were often decided by fractions of a second—the 2025 grid promises more edge-of-the-seat action. With the bikes matched, it’s down to determination, strategy, and sheer speed.
Who to Watch in 2025?
At the top of the list is Maria Herrera, who narrowly missed out on the 2024 title. She returns with unfinished business, and all eyes will be on whether she can go one better this year.
But it’s not just about familiar names. The blend of returning talent and fresh faces from across the globe makes for a dynamic mix. Every rider arrives hungry to prove they belong at the highest level—and in a series where anything can happen, surprises are guaranteed.
A Race Weekend Like No Other
WorldWCR shares its calendar with WorldSBK, visiting six iconic circuits around the world. Each race weekend includes practice, qualifying, and two main races—offering fans multiple chances to watch the rising stars of the sport in action.
Whether you’re at the track or tuning in from home, WorldWCR delivers high-quality racing with the added excitement of a championship still in its early, trailblazing years.
Fan Connection at the Heart
Beyond the racing, WorldWCR is built around community and connection. Open paddocks mean fans can get up close with the bikes and meet the riders. It’s an immersive experience designed to welcome newcomers and seasoned motorsport fans alike.
This accessibility is key to WorldWCR’s broader mission: to inspire the next generation of racers, engineers, and fans—especially young girls who are seeing themselves represented on the world stage like never before.
More Than Racing: A Movement for Change
WorldWCR is about more than competition. It’s about reshaping the face of motorcycle racing and challenging outdated norms. By offering a global platform for women to compete at the highest level, the series is opening doors—both in motorsports and beyond.
It stands as a symbol of progress, proving that given the opportunity, women can thrive and lead in high-performance, male-dominated arenas.
Where to Watch WorldWCR
The series enjoys strong broadcast coverage through existing MotoGP and WorldSBK partners, making it easy for fans worldwide to tune in. Additionally, races and qualifying sessions are streamed live on the WorldWCR YouTube channel, ensuring maximum accessibility for fans old and new.
A Proven Launchpad
If you needed proof that WorldWCR is already making a difference, look no further than Ana Carrasco. The 2024 WorldWCR Champion has stepped up to World Supersport (WorldSSP) this season, showcasing just how effective the series is as a talent pipeline.
Carrasco’s progression is more than a personal victory—it’s a message to aspiring racers everywhere: WorldWCR is a path to the top.
The Road Ahead
As the 2025 season gets underway, the buzz around WorldWCR is only growing. With close racing, a diverse grid, and a mission that goes beyond the track, this is more than just a championship. It’s a new chapter in the story of motorsports—one where everyone has a place on the starting line.
Let’s race.
