The return of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix to the Shanghai International Circuit after five years has not only delivered a racing feast, but also made fans have strong expectations for other motorsport events. At the F1 Grand Prix, another of the world's top races, the MXGP (World Motocross Championship), will be held in Fengxian, Shanghai, from 14 to 16 September.
MXGP, together with F1, WRC and MOTOGP, is known as the world's four classic motorcycle races. As early as 2019, MXGP, which was introduced by Hehui Group, landed in Shanghai and held the first China station in Fengxian District, which was also the final station of MXGP that year. The event ranked 10th in the attention and professionalism of major sports events in Shanghai that year, and ranked 7th in terms of economic impact and industry pull of major events. According to official data, the direct economic benefits of the event exceeded 76 million yuan, and the indirect economic benefits were nearly 180 million yuan.
At the Waterscape Plaza at the Shanghai International Circuit, MXGP and F1 are linked to provide fans with a highly restored simulation experience. Similar to F1, MXGP is the same as speed and handling proficiency, but with its own unique charm. The MXGP is the ultimate challenge in motorcycle racing, with athletes riding powerful motocross bikes designed for agility and agility in rough off-road terrain, with a sturdy suspension system, multi-section tires and a high-torque engine that allows riders to handle jumps, bumps and tight turns with precision and speed. At the same time, MXGP tracks usually have elements such as sand and dirt, undulating terrain and jumps, and athletes must have excellent vehicle control, agility and adaptability, as well as abundant physical fitness, strong psychology and indomitable courage to conquer the harsh terrain and deduce the speed and passion of galloping on the field.
Over the past few days, the MXGP event site has been roaring with engines, and fans have lined up in the VR experience area from the perspective of the MXGP world champion with a strong interest in motorcycles and events, and experienced the unique charm of motocross.
At the roadshow, Huang Yihao, assistant general manager of Shanghai Hehui Sports Planning Co., Ltd., the operator of the event, said: "F1 has been developing in China for 20 years, and the grand occasion of this year's F1 China Grand Prix fully demonstrates the strong influence of motorsport in the world, which makes Hehui Sports more confident in the future of MXGP in China. We will benchmark F1 and other world-class races, so that the 'North (Jiading) Automobile South (Fengxian) Mo' shines in Shencheng. ”
