The “FIM Road Racing Grand Prix of the Czech Republic” has a long tradition and has always attracted a huge number of spectators and is of paramount importance. President Hasek informed about the activities for the future of the GP.
Finland is working on a project to organize a MotoGP in the very near future on “KymiRing”, near the town of Kausala, 110 km North-East of the capital Helsinki. The Finnish delegation presented the project and was looking forward to an exchange of information with President Hasek.
“I am very happy about all these activites; GPs in different parts of Europe are important, as there is also a chance on these circuits for National and European Championships, thus paving the way for young riders to world level”, stated FIM Europe President Dr. Wolfgang Srb.
