I can't see American teams leaving AMA Supercross to race this series. Supposedly international venues are being looked into, so it could be more than just an Australian series, but Supercross is American, and Feld has a great series even without FIM sanctioning.

Website mentions many countries have been asking for Supercross, so who knows.

2022 is next month. You can sign up for notifications. I could see next year being Australia and New Zealand and growing from there.

Competition is not a bad thing. Lower tiered guys might get offers to join teams of that series.

More competition is good for the product. If they have the same kind of TV package as they do for MXGP, then I don't see what not to get excited about. I hope all the top MXGP guys race this series and we have a short off season as fans Cool

i doubt they will, the factory teams are funded by the USA promotional budget, so it wont mean much to them to race this series,

someone may be able to make it work like Brayton has, it will be interesting to see if they just stay in Aussie and NZ, i had heard they were looking at other venues in Asia and maybe the middle east,

I'll keep an open mind on this one. I have many questions though.

My semi-educated guess...

Takes pace AFTER MXGP/ during the Fall-Winter...into the Holidays (would NOT overlap with our SX series).
Needs to be on 4-5 continents...
N & S Americas, Asia (Including an Aussie swing) & Europe...would be nice to swing by S. Africa and I'm sure Abu Dhabi, the Saudis and others will be interested...

So, we'll see...?

It will take years of development and investments. I hope they`re ready for it. One year of doing it halfassed and it`s over.

4-5 continents.. Cant really see that happen just look how Australia been last 2 years and no light in sight.
That will also blow any traveling budgets for smaller teams. Maybe combine events like Paris Genova UK and add something like Saudis.

One round in Australia and the rest in the USA and call it a world championship.

Cool a new big shiny Supercross series! But when are amateurs going to have a legit foundation to get them ready for SX? Little to no SX tracks for amateurs to get their feet wet on, and Supercross futures was becoming a good stepping stone, but this year was horrendous.

Take the big money from countries like the saudis and Russians to host and do huge prize payouts to draw gp or decent US talent is the only way I see it working out

Potential sources of money...
Title Sponsors = Money
Host Countries = Money
Host Cities = Money

This series, if the Oz-X series is any indicator, will provide "Start Money" and the like.That will draw riders.

But, the OEMs have to WANT to let their riders race this. I think some of the MXGP crowd will go for this...
Including...possibly...the OEMs...IF IT MAKES FINANCIAL SENSE...and that, too, can fall on the promoters.

I can see certain Middle-East, Asian & even S. African gov'ts throwing some $ at this. That could go A LONG WAY to helping fund the riders/teams that're needed to make this a success. Heck, after the almost 'total loss' of international travel and tourism...I could see some European countries/cities "putting in on this".

Rolling races like Bercy into this should be a no-brainer IF...IF...all the various promoters can get along.

Btw, OUR SX series was suppose to "go global"...hell, it was scheduled...then...
The Zombie Apocalypse happened and the FIM was sent packing.

So, this is filling that plan...sorta.

There was a plan to go to the middle-east...initially...and to expand from there. I believe the 1st year was suppose to be 2021...?

Are prize payouts going to be enough to rival a factory contract to race AMA supercross?

If I am Feld, Im watching this promo video 100000x times and making damn sure they arent using footage from any races that I promoted. If they did, then I would have this video removed immeadiately. I dont think this series is going to pose any threat the the real Supercross series, but if Im Feld, Im starting with this video and making sure this never competes with the real Supercross series.

I'm thinking It'll be the aus teams and guys on the fringe like peters, blose etc racing to start with. If they run the junior classes like the Australian series has in the past, the riders will be better than the us guys in a few generations. Either way you look at it, this will be amazing for the Australian scene.
