In 2015, America will have a new grand prix motorcycle series, named MotoAmerica. The new series basically replaces the current DMG (Daytona Motorsports Group) ran AMA Pro Road Racing Series. The new series next year will keep the current AMA classes around as well as adding new classes. The series has already gained support from the FIM, Dorna & AMA. The new series is built by the Krave Group, which has Wayne Rainey, Chuck Aksland, Terry Karges & Richard Varner on their primary staff. The series will not feature the Daytona 200 as it's first race, as the series and the track/ISC didn't get a deal together.

Classes for 2015:
Superbike*
• Chassis rules as AMA 2014
• Engine specs in line with the 2015 World Superbike Championship (gearbox as AMA 2014)
• Electronics as 2015 World Superbike Championship with a one-year option to run to AMA 2014 specs
• Use of two bikes will be allowed during each event

Superstock 1000*
• Engine and chassis to be aligned with FIM Superstock 1000
• Brake system may be changed
• Superstock 1000 to run on slick tires
• Use of two bikes will be allowed during each event

• n.b. Superbike and Superstock will run together but will be scored separately

Supersport* (formerly Daytona Sportbike)
• Chassis rules as AMA 2014
• Engine rules moved toward FIM World Supersport Championship specification
• Electronics as AMA 2014
• Supersport will be run on slick tires
• Use of one bike allowed during each event. Second bike may be built but not used until cleared by Technical Director
• Based on 600 class machines, including 675 triples

Superstock 600* (formerly AMA Pro SuperSport)
• Similar rules to 2014 AMA Pro SuperSport rules and aligned with FIM Superstock 600

KTM RC Cups
• Class is for riders under the age group of 14-22
• Spec bikes using the KTM RC 390 Cup Racing specs
• Sealed engines
• Production bikes would not be legal, only racing spec

Moto 2 will not be included in 2015 but will be re-evaluated for the 2016 season.

MotoAmerica are currently in discussions to run two additional classes in the series.

*The MotoAmerica full technical rules will be released shortly. MotoAmerica reserves the right to amend the above information and aims to develop all classes over the following seasons.

Shame about the Daytona 200, but let's hope this new sanctioning body will revive the championship. Uniforming to FIM standards is a step in the right direction.

If anyone's looking for a new rising motorcycle star, it's hard to look past Cameron Beaubier.
