The wait is over. In just a few months, the International German Motorcycle Championship (IDM) will kick off the season at the Motorsport Arena in Oschersleben. Whether you're a young talent or an established rider, if you want to compete in the top series and score points, you can register now.
The procedure is the same for everyone. Go to the homepage www.idm.de, click on the "Participant Info" button, and you're ready to go. The link applies to all participants in the IDM Superbike, Supersport, and Sportbike classes, as well as all support classes participating in the IDM.
Do you want to compete in all races or get a taste of the IDM with the appropriate license and see how well you can keep up? There are two types of registration: either as a permanent rider or as a guest starter. Permanent registration is valid for the entire 2025 season and participants are eligible for points. The other option is a guest starter permit. This allows participation in a maximum of three events and participants do not receive any championship points.
The prerequisite for participating in the races of the 2025 season is an internationally valid license from the DMSB (Deutscher Motor Sport Bund e.V.) or an internationally valid license issued by the home federation, as well as a foreign starting permit. More and more riders from all over the world see the IDM series as a stage on which to establish themselves nationally or lay the foundation for a further career. The technical regulations in German are also available on the IDM website as of today, January 29, 2025. The English versions will follow in a few days.
Who will succeed Ilya Mikhalchik as champion in the prestigious IDM Superbike series? Who will battle for the title in the Supersport class? And how will the new IDM Sportbike get off the ground? There is excitement in the air when IDM series manager Normann Broy says: "More and more motorcycle brands are participating in the IDM, and we see this as a sign of the attractiveness of investing in our top series. Having participants who compete at World Championship level gives us an extra boost. And even if some spectators are surprised, yes, the IDM will continue to remain very close to its fan base. Anyone who buys a ticket to the event also gets free admission to the paddock."
