DOHA: FIM MiniGP India has joined the FIM MiniGP World Series, the MotoGP announced on Friday.

The FIM MiniGP World Series is designed as the first step on the Road to MotoGP and aims to create an equal platform for young riders around the world to begin their motorcycle racing careers.
India is the world’s second most populous country and has a huge number of two-wheeled vehicles, meaning motorcycles already form part of the daily life of millions of people.
The FIM MiniGP India Series will serve an established appetite for racing, creating an economically viable and equal environment in which young riders can begin to compete, gain experience and sharpen their skills.
The 2022 FIM MiniGP India Series will comprise six rounds, with competition split between Bangalore and Hyderabad.
As ever, the best riders will qualify for the FIM MiniGP World Final alongside the top riders from each Series, with the possibility of promotions up for grabs on the Road to MotoGP.
