The 2024 edition of the FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy begins in Camerino, Italy, running from September 4-7 with Team Italy ready to defend their EVT winners crown.

It is exactly 50 years since Camerino and the Marche Region last held the FIM International Six Days Trial (ISDT) in 1974. With Italy also hosting the ISDE in 2025, the FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy is one step ahead as it brings back the timeless passion for fans of golden era enduro.

Celebrating iconic machinery from the early 1970s through to the early 1990s, while also commemorating enduro greats and past champions, the FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy is as much about reminiscing times past as it is about the racing.

The picturesque town of Camerino in central Italy will be the epicentre for vintage enduro this week beginning last night with the opening ceremony.

Spectacular terrain awaits

With a race format tailored specifically for classic enduro bikes, the racing takes place across four days in enjoyable yet challenging enough terrain of the Marche Region.

The opening day of racing begins with a short opening day of just 20 kilometres to ease into the event with the traditional acceleration test close to the end before returning to the parc ferme.

Day two will not be easy for the old bikes (and riders in some cases!) with a 75 kilometre loop, to be completed twice, featuring two Cross Tests and one Enduro Test per lap on a route north of Camerino towards San Severino Marche.

Day three brings riders and machines south of Camerino towards Pieve Torina on two 70 kilometre laps also featuring two Cross Tests and one Enduro Test.

Day Four brings the Final Special Test at the San Pacifico International Crossodrome in San Severino Marche bringing this year’s FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy to a close.

Bumper Entry for 2024 Edition

With over 400 competitors from 16 nations, this year’s FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy is set to be the biggest one yet. In total, 13 teams will compete for the FIM Vintage Veteran Trophy.

Italy will look to defend their crown with riders Enrico Tortoli (KTM), Tullio Pellegrinelli (Puch Frigerio) and Giorgio Grasso (Kramer) on home soil but Australia, France, Germany, Canada, United States and Great Britain have their sights set on the top step of the podium.
