2025 FIM ENDURANCE TEAM WORLD CHAMPION

The ultimate high-speed test of rider and machine, the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship brought together an international entry for a combined total of sixty-four hours of racing split between four truly iconic events.

Teamwork is vital when you are racing around the clock and Germany’s Marvin Fritz and Karel Hanika from the Czech Republic were joined this year on the Yamaha Austria Racing Team (YART) by Australian Jason O’Halloran and the trio formed a strong bond that held firm during a tense season.

Victory in April at the 24 Heures Motos at the Circuit Bugatti at Le Mans in France gave them the best possible start and they backed this up with third at the 8 Hours of Spa Motos at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium in June.

A dramatic third round – the forty-sixth running of the Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours in Japan at the start of August – then shook up the leaderboard when YART Yamaha failed to score after crashes by O’Halloran and Hanika, combined with a technical problem, sidelined them.

Leading by a single point heading into the deciding twenty-four-hour Bol d’Or 2025 in France in September, YART regained the title with an essential second-placed finish.
