2008 FIM Red Bull Motocross of Nations at Donington

2008 MXDN at DONINGTON ! 2008 FIM Red Bull Motocross of Nations in Donington Park FUNCHAL, 9 January 2008

Following the cancellation of the location Moneyglass Demesne due to lack of infrastructure and improvement to the venue, Youthstream and Donington Park found an agreement for the organization of the 2008 FIM Red Bull Motocross of Nations.

Dr. Wolfgang Srb, CMS President, was delighted with the news, “The FIM Red Bull Motocross of Nations is the greatest and most prestigious off-road motorcycle event of the year. It is the only occasion where the best riders in the world come together and compete with great pride and enthusiasm for their colors. As the showcase of Motocross, this event deserves to be staged at the best circuits in the world. I am happy that Donington Park was selected to host this event.”

Mr. Giuseppe Luongo, Youthstream President, said, “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. 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.”
