Tuesday, August 6: Aquabike Promotion has released the provisional entry list for the 2024 UIM-ABP Aquabike Endurance World Championship which will take place for the second successive year on Lake Toba in Indonesia on November 13th-15th  : an entry list that already features some of the world's top drivers.

The initial list features 15 riders from Europe and other racers from different countries around the world. 

The current UIM-ABP Runabout GP1 World Champion and recently crowned European Endurance champion François Medori is present along with French legend and Medori’s team boss Teddy Pons, who returns to the hot seat to challenge for Endurance honours.

The list of European racers also includes Portugal’s Lino Araújo - the winner of the recent Moto 1 at the European Endurance Championship in Vichy - GP2 European Endurance champion Slobodan Sobic, Spain’s Ruben Jimenez Riquelme and Hungarian György Kasza.

Anthony Radetic represents the United States of America and Kiwi Kylie Ellmers has entered race week alongside Japan’s Jun Ikoma and Isahal Hajime.

Australia’s Scott Phillips with a group of riders representing the South East Asia will also be aiming for success on the spectacular volcanic lake race venue.

The championship will be fought out over three days of racing with the Karo Cup taking place over two 35-minute endurance races on November 13th from the village of Tongging.

Riders will compete for the Dairi Cup over a pair of 35-minute races on November 14th from Silalahi and day three (November 15th) sees action over two Motos for the Simalungun Cup from the town of Parapat.

With this provisional entry list already out, more than three months ahead of the race, it looks like this year's  Endurance Grand Prix  of Lake Toba Indonesia will be an incredible success, possibly exceeding last year's impressive turnout in both participants and audience.
