History
The French Elite Motocross Championship has existed as the highest level of domestic motocross in France since 1949.[2] Yves Demaria holds the highest number of senior titles with 10.[3] The classes within the championship have evolved over time in line with what has been seen in the sport around the world.
Event Format
Rounds of the French Elite Motocross Championship typically have a single day format. Qualifying takes place in a morning in the form of timed practice sessions, with the two points paying races taking place in the afternoon. If a class has more than 40 entries, the timed practice sessions are split into two groups.
Points are awarded to finishers of the main races, in the following format:
