FIM World Motocross Sidecar and Quad Championship

On August 1-2, Lithuania will host a round of the FIM World Motocross Sidecar Championship and the FIM World Quad Championship for the first time in history. The world elite will gather at Mickūnai MX Park in Anykščiai district – a venue now officially included in the championship calendar.

This is an unprecedented event in the history of Lithuanian motorsport. Two years of negotiations with the International Motorcycling Federation, infrastructure alignment, and the implementation of strict technical requirements have yielded results – Lithuania has become a host of the World Championship.

"This is a historic moment for Lithuanian motorsport. The World Championship in our country is a clear international recognition that we are ready to organize top-level competitions. It's also a huge motivation for our athletes; when the world elite comes to your home track, you realize that you too can be among them. We are delighted that the National Sports Agency and the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport recognized the importance of this championship and contributed to its execution."
