San Marino wants the Motocross World Championship back that has been missing for twenty years
San Marino organizes a round of the MX World Championship at Baldasserona. The last motocross Grand Prix of San Marino took place in 2000.
San Marino could return to organize a round of the Motocross World Championship. The news was leaked by the Secretary of State for Sport of the Republic of San Marino, Teodoro Lonfernini “We are working so that San Marino can return to having a round of the MX World Championship – says the parliamentarian of the Titan – We are in the heart of the land of motors, the hub of motoring activity. Motocross would be of great appeal. The projects are there and we are confident of being able to carry them out. Now and assessed with all parties involved and we hope to be able to release them shortly. First of all, it is necessary to start with the adaptation works of the Baldasserona plant. I hope that times can be fast enough. The goal is to be able to bring major international events to our cross-track, a facility rich in history. In the past it has hosted important events related to two and also 4 wheels “.
San Marino last organized the Motocross World Championship in June 2000. On that occasion Thomas Traversini won the 125cc race. On the Titan there was talk of MX several times and in 2017 there was a meeting between the Secretary di Stato Lonfernini and Youthstream executives. It seemed done but the project, however, was then stalled. Now hopes are raised for all the fans. “There is a lot to do – Lonfernini continues – however I hope that by 2024 we can be ready both at the plant level and at the level of relations with the organizers to be able to host the event “.
San Marino organized for the first time a Grand Prix of the Motocross World Championship at Baldasserona in 1973. The race was reserved for the 125 class. Over the years the Republic of Titano has hosted the World Championship races several times but has now been fasting for over twenty ‘years.
