2016–17 FIM Endurance World Championship explained

The 2016–17 FIM Endurance World Championship was the 38th season of the FIM Endurance World Championship, a motorcycle racing series co-organised by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and Eurosport. This season marked the first move to a winter schedule for the championship, with the season starting at the Bol d'Or in September 2016 and concluding at the Suzuka 8 Hours in July 2017. The European rounds were held during the winter to avoid conflicts with the MotoGP and Superbike schedules. GMT 94 Yamaha won their 3rd title. [1]
