It remains to be seen what will come of it … In the meantime, the French Motorcycling Federation (FFM) has already indicated that it is ready to "collaborate and help this group in order to guarantee the sustainability of these sports. which fascinate the French so much ".

The FFM ready to collaborate

Because "after the disappearance of the French Formula 1 Grand Prix and the publication of regulatory texts aimed at restricting motor sports, it was time for parliamentarians to take an interest in this subject", underlines the sports body, "especially more than the French have clearly shown their desire to see these activities continue, as the Ipsos poll carried out in September 2009 demonstrated "(read).

The FFM finally recalls that "the motor sports events are among those which welcome the most public in France, with in particular the Enduropale du Touquet (300,000 spectators), the 24 Hours of Le Mans auto (250,000 spectators) or the Grand French Motorcycle Prize (100,000 spectators) ".
