Circuit Paul Ricard will host the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC) season finale this weekend, where Dunlop will support 42 entries across the Formula EWC, Superstock Trophy and Production Trophy categories.

The 88th edition of the Bol d’Or brings to a close Dunlop’s fourth year as exclusive tyre supplier to the Superstock Trophy and its first season supporting every entry in the new Production Trophy class. Meanwhile, six Formula EWC teams will finish their 2025 FIM EWC season on Dunlop tyres.

All Dunlop-equipped teams will have access to a wide selection of Dunlop’s KR108 and KR109 slicks, designed to deliver on both single-lap pace and long-distance performance. In the event of changing weather conditions, a full range of intermediate and wet weather compounds will also be available to ensure reliable grip throughout the race.

Superstock Trophy and Production Trophy titles go down to the wire
The highly competitive Dunlop Superstock Trophy promises to have a thrilling finale at the Bol d'Or with 28 bikes representing seven manufacturers lining up on the grid. With two new entrants joining the grid for the final round, they raise the intensity of what is already the championship’s most competitive class.

At the top of the standings, the #25 Team Étoile BMW leads with 86 points, just five ahead of the #55 National Motos Honda, reigning Superstock Trophy champions, at 81 points. The #41 Kaedear-Dafy-RAC-41 Honda has collected 68 points throughout the season, remaining firmly in contention. With only 55 points separating the top ten and with a maximum of 65 points still available at Circuit Paul Ricard, the final results of the Superstock Trophy are far from decided.

The very first Production Trophy champion will also be crowned at the Bol d’Or. Introduced at the start of 2025, the category is designed to provide a more accessible and affordable entry point into FIM EWC. Every team competes on Dunlop’s slick tyres, underlining Dunlop’s commitment to supporting and showcasing endurance racing talent at all levels. This is further reinforced by Dunlop providing teams in this category with FOC tyres, helping to make endurance racing more accessible.

Eight teams will battle for the very first Production Trophy title with four additional teams joining them for the final round. The #222 Team Supermoto Racing Yamaha leads with 97 points, while the #199 Artec Kawasaki sits second with 79. Just 14 points separate third to sixth place, ensuring an intense fight for the final podium position.

Dunlop-equipped Formula EWC teams target strong season finale
In the Formula EWC category, which features open tyre choice, six Dunlop-equipped teams will fight for a strong finish to the season, aiming to clinch the maximum amount of points. The #6 ERC Endurance BMW sits fifth in the standings, while the #99 Elf Marc VDS Racing Team/KM99 Yamaha is currently holding onto P8. Both of these privateer teams aim to secure their places in the top ten amongst several factory outfits, relying on the grip and durability provided by the Dunlop racing slicks. The #65 Motobox Kremer Racing Yamaha and the #53 Mana-au Competition Honda, currently P12 and P13, alongside the #14 Maco Racing Team Yamaha and the #90 Team LRP Poland BMW will be pushing to end their seasons on a high.

Wim Van Achter, Motorsport Manager, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe, commented: “We’re excited to return to Paul Ricard for the 2025 FIM EWC season finale with strong competition across the Superstock-based FIM Endurance World Cup, the all-new Production Trophy category and Formula EWC class. As this is the last round of the season, every team will push to the maximum on the KR slicks, showcasing the performance, durability and confidence our tyres provide.

“As well as this being the final round of the inaugural Production Trophy season, we also celebrate four years as the exclusive tyre supplier to EWC’s Superstock category, while top privateer teams continue to choose Dunlop fighting for overall podiums in Formula EWC. We’re ready for an exciting season finale and proud to support the Dunlop teams in their pursuits for victory.”
