On the occasion of the 30th edition of the Shark Grand Prix de France at Le Mans (72), the President of the French Motorcycling Federation, Sébastien Poirier, took stock of the “Speed Generation” program launched in 2022 as part of its speed course modernization policy.
With the aim of boosting the speed sector, the FFM is doing everything it can to support the new generation and enable them to reach the highest level of motorcycling sport. On the eve of the 1th Grand Prix in the history of the World Championship, Sébastien Poirier draws a positive assessment of this federal project. The FFM welcomes the investment of major partners who did not hesitate to join the adventure: Motul, Shark, Furygan, Dafy Moto, Bridgestone and PHA.
This support policy is at the heart of the federal strategy and many pilots benefit from it. The drivers of the Mini OGP and OGP Collectives of the French Motorcycling Federation accompanied by the drivers of the French Team (Guillem Planques and Benjamin Caillet) all dream of a course in the image of Fabio Quartararo, Johann Zarco or even Lorenzo Fellon .
Sébastien Poirier, President of the French Motorcycling Federation : " I am proud to draw up this first assessment on the eve of the 1th Grand Prix. The Federation invests daily in young people to provide them with a path of excellence in their access to high level. This project is for the medium term. Access to karting circuits is a key element in the development of the practice in our territory among young people.
I salute the support of our partners who are supporting us in this federal project, the objective is clear: to continue to make our colors shine on the international scene. »
