Moto-X » Motocross of Nations moves to Donington.

Wednesday, 9th January 2008

Following the cancellation of the planned Northern Ireland location for the 2008 Red Bull Motocross of Nations, the FIM has announced that the event will now be held at Donington Park, Great Britain, on September 28.

Donington's MotoGP and WSBK experience should make it much better prepared to deal with the popularity of the end-of-season team event, which was held at Budds Creek in the USA last year.

"The FIM Red Bull Motocross of Nations has reached such a high level now that only a few circuits in the world are capable to hold this event," said Youthstream president Giuseppe Luongo. "With more than 80,000 people present during the weekend and with all their needs for camping, parking, traffic regulations, infrastructure, toilets, restaurants and recreation areas, there are only a few circuits who can offer all this today and Donington Park is for sure one of the best.

"Donington Park not only offers all these infrastructure to the public but they can also provide a professional paddock for the riders and teams and a very modern press facility for the media, there is a lot of hotel accommodation nearby and an international airport is within 3kms.

"Last but not least, last year we built a very traditional, spectacular and safe Motocross track together, respecting the Motocross tradition in the most modern and comfortable environment.

"We believe the co-operation between Donington Park, Youthstream, FIM and ACU will bring this event again to be the greatest off-road event of the year in the world. I am sure fans from all around the world will be there to support their national team."

Team America has won the Motocross of Nations for the past three years.
