Kausala, Finland – 06.03.2025 – The world’s premier motocross championship, the FIM MXGP World Championship, is set to race at Kymiring for the first time in 2025, with the highly anticipated event taking place on 12-13 July. This marks a major milestone for the circuit’s development as a top-tier motorsport venue and will be the first World Championship event at Kymiring.
The agreement, finalized between Kymiring and MXGP promoter Infront, brings the world’s best motocross riders to Finland, continuing the country’s long and rich tradition in the sport. Previously planned for Kymiring but relocated elsewhere, the event now fulfills an “unfinished business” for both the circuit and the championship organizers.
Finland’s deep-rooted passion for motocross is exemplified by the Kawasaki Racing Team, managed by Finnish legend Antti Pyrhönen and owned by former Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen. The upcoming MXGP of Finland at KymiRing promises an exhilarating weekend of top-tier motocross action. Fans can anticipate thrilling performances in the MXGP and MX2 categories, complemented by the supporting European classes of EMX250 and EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing.
Kornél Ory, Managing Director of Kymiring, emphasized the significance of the event: “We can’t wait to start working together with the local communities and the federation to create something spectacular. Motocross has deep roots in Finland, and MXGP is an electrifying series that perfectly aligns with our strategy. We sincerely thank the promoter for their trust and are committed to delivering a world-class event for Finnish motorsport fans.”
David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing, added: “It is with great pleasure that the MXGP will come back to one of the most passionate motorsport countries in the world. Kymiring will for sure deliver a fantastic facility to all the riders and our different stakeholders. The Finnish fans will have the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic weekend with the best riders in the world!”
The successful bid for the event was supported by the Finnish Motorcycling Federation, the city of Kouvola, Destination Management Company Visit Lahti, and the Municipality of Iitti, all of whom played a crucial role in making the return of MXGP to Finland a reality.
