The inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) events will feature three different classes of Amateur All-Stars across the post-season playoffs in 2023.

At the upcoming SMX Finals, the top young racers from around the world will be competing in three respective classes, beginning with the 65 World All-Stars Class (ages 7-11) that will be at zMAX Dragway on Saturday, 9 September.

The Supermini World All-Stars (ages 12-16) will compete at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday, 16 September, and the 250 World All-Stars (ages 14+) will line up at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, 23 September.

Each class will front a full 22-rider starting gate and riders will be hand-selected by each manufacturer – GasGas, Honda, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Cobra – in the SMX World Championship.

Amateur competitors in all three classes will have two free practice sessions on Friday, then Saturday’s schedule will include two 10-minute qualifying sessions, followed by an eight-minute, plus one lap, main event that will take place during the afternoon or evening program.
