==History==

Competitors race on a 4,1 kilometre circuit laid out across a meadow, incorporating a mixture of tighter and faster corners, straights, and tabletop jumps. This particular circuit has very high average speed because of long straights and high speed corners. The longest straight is approximately 700 meters long where speed goes up to 140km/h.Tracks width is from six to ten metres which is relatively high for motocross. The ground is a clay surface which is very hard. In the result track track can’t be with deep ruts or with many bumps like it happens on soft ground. In corners clay bricks are dug out because of high pressure from machines.
