「オートレース宇部 Racing Team」はFIM世界耐久選手権・第4戦「ボルドール24時間耐久レース」(ポールリカールサーキット/フランス)に参戦します。
今回のボルドール参戦は「オートレース宇部 Racing Team」にとって初めての海外遠征となり、将来的なFIM世界耐久選手権へのフル参戦に向けた重要なステップです。マシンは国内のJSB1000クラスで2連勝したBMW M1000RRで、優勝したマシンをそのままヨーロッパに空輸して24時間耐久レースに挑みます。
We are pleased to announce that the Auto Race Ube Racing Team, operated by James Racing Co., Ltd. will be competing in the 88th ”Bol d’Or“, the final round of the FIM Endurance World Championship(FIM EWC) in 2025.
It’s the first time for the Auto Race Ube Racing Team to contest 24 hours endurance race, and to race in foreign countries. It will be a very important step towards a full participation of FIM EWC in the future. The team will bring 2024 BMW M1000RR, which has won two races in the MFJ JSB1000, to Paul Ricard Circuit.
The riders for their first appearance at the 2025 Bol d’Or will be Naomichi Uramoto, who has achieved two consecutive victories in MFJ JSB1000. Loris Baz (France), who joined the team at the 2025 Suzuka 8 Hours. The team will also be new recruits, including Leandro Mercado (Argentina), an IDM Superbike rider who achieved a second-place podium finish in the Superstock class at the 2025 Suzuka 8 Hours.
At the Suzuka 8 Hours, our regular rider Naomichi Uramoto showed his amazing speed approaching those of the top riders in MotoGP and WSBK. Just after Suzuka 8 Hours, he took his second consecutive victory in MFJ JSB1000 at Motegi in August. He has competed in the Bol d’Or in 2019.
Loris Baz, who competed alongside Uramoto and Davey Todd at the Suzuka 8 Hours, is a world-class rider with over 200 FIM WSBK races and MotoGP experience. Not only does he have racing experience with BMW, but he also won the Bol d’Or in 2013 with SRC Kawasaki.
Argentine rider Leandro Mercado has competed in nearly 200 FIM Superbike World Championship races, and he competed in the FIM EWC with Honda Viltais Racing until last year. He achieved a second-place podium finish at the 2023 Bol d’Or.
This will be the team’s first 24 hours endurance race, but Baz and Mercado has a lot of experiences in endurance racing, so the team will be aiming for the podium.
