We have been working for many years on this project. In 2003 we started the collaboration with the MX3 World Championship” they explained, adding “we have a team of 40 kids and a school with over 180 kids riding there, so our desire to develop motocross in our country, especially in the Balkans, is really big. This is one of the things that motivates us to organise such a big event in Romania and we are sure the outcome will be very good”.
TCS Racing Park will be the venue to host the prestigious junior race, which was built over 20 years ago due to the passion the Radutä family and Ciprian Popescu.
