MotoAmerica, the new North American road racing series, launched by Wayne Rainey and the KRAVE Group LLC has received another pledge of support, this time from the international road racing governing body

Vito Ippolito, FIM President

The American Motorcyclist Association has already announced that it will sanction MotoAmerica. 

Now, Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) the global governing and sanctioning body for international  motorcycle racing has not expressed their support for MotoAmerica.

“We are very excited about the potential of the new MotoAmerica road racing series. American motorcycle racing has always been important to the FIM, and we are proud to be a part of the MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship,” Vito Ippolito, FIM president has been quoted as saying in various reports.

This support is a shot in the arm for MotoAmerica, an affiliate of KRAVE Group LLC., a partnership that includes three-time MotoGP champion Wayne Rainey.

“MotoAmerica and everyone at the KRAVE Group LLC are honoured to have an endorsement of Mr. Ippolito and the FIM. This FIM support will allow our series to become a recognized member of the international motorcycle racing community, paving the way for our riders to make the transition to international road racing championships like World Superbike and MotoGP in the future,”  said Rainey.

The KRAVE Group is a California-based organization that includes Rainey, Chuck Aksland, a former racer and 20-year manager of Team Roberts who most recently served as Vice President of Motor Sport Operations at Circuit of The Americas, Terry Karges, a former motorsports marketing executive and team owner who spent 17-years at Roush Performance, and Richard Varner, a motorcycle manufacturer, energy sector entrepreneur, philanthropist and businessman.
