Media Coverage of the Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations

DONINGTON PARK (GREAT BRITAIN), 26 September 2008- The 62nd edition of the Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations taking place this weekend at Donington Park, Great Britain, will be broadcast live and delayed according to the attached schedule.


DONINGTON PARK GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT AND CASTLE DONINGTON

The Donington Park Grand Prix motocross circuit is named after one of the most famous permanent road racing complexes in the world which is hosting the track itself. Having its first Motocross GP in 2007 Donington Park came back on the 2008 calendar with the most prestigious event of the year, the Red Bull Motocross of Nations. This year the ground will be enriched with woodchips making it softer that it was in 2007 as the changes to the layout will make the course more challenging. At last year’s GP Antonio Cairoli won at his first and only appearance in the MX1 scene while current British Team member Tommy Searle won his maiden MX2 GP.

The weather is predicted to be cloudy until Saturday as Sunday will be sunny. No rain is expected this week as the temperatures will be around 18° Celsius.


Castle Donington is a small town in a corner of Leicestershire being 18 kilometres South East of Derby and about 200 kilometres North of London. The town is named after a Castle which was built to command the crossing points of the River Trent in the eleventh or twelfth century and is now merely a mound on the northern edge of the village. Castle Donington is placed on the former Nottingham to Birmingham trunk road and is characterized by modern shops standing alongside dignified Georgian and Regency houses in a fascinating blend of modernity and tradition.
