Yamaha is launching a new racing series in 2022 that will feature the R7. Special GYTR performance parts developed specifically for the R7 are intended to make the R7 the ideal base model for racing.
The R7 Cup is held throughout Europe and is supported by the respective national importers. Yamaha would like to offer a low-cost entry into racing. The Cup is aimed at already active racers, but also at riders who want to take the step from TrackDays into racing.
R7 Series European SuperFinale
At the end of the season, the 36 best drivers of the national R7 Cups will meet and compete against each other. The race will take place as part of the last European race of the FIM Superbike World Championship.
Paolo Pavesio, Director Marketing and Motorsport at Yamaha Motor Europe: “The concept behind the national R7 Cups and the R7 Series European SuperFinale is different to that of our other racing series, in that they are not designed specifically for young racers looking to progress up the racing ladder. Instead, they are designed to be cost effective and accessible for those riders who want to race primarily for fun or to step up after participating in track days. The goal is to create a series with a real community spirit, one that feels welcoming to riders whatever their age or background. A series and an event in which Dad can race alongside his kids, or friends can compete to finally prove who is the fastest. But while it’s as much about enjoyment as it is about racing, we’re sure that we’re going to see some real competition on track as riders race to secure a place on the Yamaha R7 Series European SuperFinale grid at the end of the season!”
