DIRT NEWS 2020 ENDURO WORLD CHAMPS SECURES TITLE SPONSOR B razillian tyre company Borilli Racing has secured the title sponsorship of the 2020 FIM Enduro GP – now the 2020 FIM Borilli Enduro GP – in its latest push to bring the largest tyre manufacturer in Brazil into the global market. After the opening its first European headquarters in Italy, Borilli Racing will sponsor the enduro world championship which, for 2020, will take the name of FIM Borilli EnduroGP World Championship, with the aim of bringing to the European market a highly performing product suitable for the extreme characteristics of this discipline. Borilli Racing and ABC Communication – the folks behind the FIM Enduro GP on an organisational front – have signed a one-year contract which allows the Brazilian tyre brand to become the title partner and exclusive tyre sponsor of EnduroGP. As a result of the agreement, the 2020 series will be known as the Borilli FIM EnduroGP World Championship. The move comes less than a month out from the re-scheduled start of the 2020 season thanks to the impacts of Covid-19 cancelling the previously scheduled races which were meant to kick off in April. The 2020 season kicks off the weekend of 18- 20 September in France with the championship then moving to Italy the following weekend. The remaining three rounds are scheduled to feature in Germany, Spain and Portugal in October and November 2020. KIWI RIDER 109
