WHAT IS MOTOCROSS?
Motocross leaves the people watching and those involved on the edge of their seat! Motocross is always better when viewed in person as you get the sensory explosion of everything about the sport from hearing, watching, breathing and smelling Motocross! Its part of a fan’s life and one thing that you will quickly recognise, is that fans submerse themselves in the world of Motocross.
The second thing you will quickly recognise is that the sport is family driven, not just Dad’s or young males, it’s made up of wives, girlfriends, kids and even grandparents who passionately attend week after week.
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP APPEAL
The MX Nationals is the UK’s newest motocross championship. Built on the foundations of previous popular ideas, the series will provide a pyramid route for riders to continually progress and push themselves to pro level.
While supporting the main teams and professional riders in the UK, the series promotes the fastest 40 through qualifying. If a rider qualifies in the fastest times, they will be in the Pro race.
From top to bottom the series is built on transparency, with open classes at every level. The riders ability will shine through while always being pushed to achieve the next level.
The MX Nationals will ride the UK’s best tracks and will work with circuit owners to create the best experience for riders and spectators. The MX Nationals is a series created by the people, for the people. Ethical, transparent, entertaining, enjoyable, and professional are five keywords that best describe this series
WHAT IS THE FASTEST 40 AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT? Simple, if you qualifying the top 40 you’re in. It doesn’t matter what team you’re on, how old your bike is, how much bling you have or whether you’re on 125, 250, 300, 450 or 500 if your fast enough your in. If you don’t make the fastest 40 then you go into the pro support race where you will battle it out
points, prize money and work on your speed so you can try and make it in the fastest 40 for next round. We’re getting back to good old qualification where its all down to ability and nothing else. Buckle up this is going to get emotional.

WHY GET INVOLVED?
It’s new, and it’s what the teams, riders and spectators want in the UK. The sport is costly and very competitive, by having this format it takes the financial pressure off riders knowing that ability will be the one thing that will separate them from the rest. We know that this series will provide some fantastic racing for spectators and the media. We will have an extensive promotional campaign that will reach not only every area within motocross but also beyond.
Social Media, live feeds, updates, pictures and videos are just some of the communication from the weekends racing. We’re interacting with radio, TV and communicating with people outside of the sport and introducing brands to the most extreme and entertaining sport in the world.
