Bol d’Or 24-Hour Motorcycle Race 2024

The Bol d’Or, the oldest 24-hour motorcycle race in the world and a historic popular event, will celebrate its 87th edition (102 years) on the famous Paul Ricard Circuit from September 13 to 15, 2024. Beyond its status as the final of the EWC World Endurance Championship, the Bol d’Or is a true motorcycle festival, a showcase of the richness and diversity of the world of 2 wheels.

4 RACES INCLUDING A BIG NEW ONE!

On Saturday, September 14 at 2:00 p.m., the best endurance drivers on the planet will set off on the Paul Ricard Circuit for two rounds of the clock, at the end of which the winner of the 87th edition of the Bol d’Or and the 2024 EWC Endurance World Champion will be crowned. Alongside the official competition, Larivière Organisation is making the Bol d’Or a truly festive gathering of 2-wheel enthusiasts.

The traditional races will, of course, be back for amateur and enthusiast riders: the Bol d’Argent, a 3-hour race for standard “roadster” type machines, and the Bol d’Or Classic, a 4-hour race showcasing historic machines. The motorcycles present in these races will be found in the exhibition village on the stands of the brands and dealers as well as in the hall of the historical exhibition proposed by the organizers.

This year, one of the big new features will be the “Moto Journal Sport Adventure Race”. This 10-lap Trail-type machine race will take place just before the start of the Bol d’Or. This amateur and conceptual race is inspired by the “bagger” races organized in the United States, the best-selling model across the Atlantic. In France in 2023, the trail is the best-selling machine in French dealerships, which should create a craze among owners of Ducati Multistrada, Honda Africa Twin, BMW GS, etc.
