Autodrom Most has moved the Superbike World Championship to the Olympic Festival

“Thanks to the Olympic Games, an Olympic park will be created in the area of ​​the lake, the facilities and capacity of which, including the parking lot, will also be available to WorldSBK visitors,” said Zajíček. “That way, we should be fully prepared for the expected large rush of fans.”

The Games under the Five Rings in Paris will start on July 26, and the program of the Olympic Festival will also start on the same day. The circuit under Hněvín hosts WorldSBK for the fourth time, this year the biggest Czech motorsport event of the summer attracted 54 thousand visitors. That is a third more than the year before.

“For past races, we have split the entrance fee between the spectator slope and the racing paddock, which has enabled us to make superbikes available to an even wider audience. Around forty percent of the spectators took advantage of the more affordable tickets and watched WorldSBK from the spectator slope. We will keep the level and the entrance fee system for next year in the same regime,” revealed Zajíček, the chairman of the board of directors of Autodrom Most.

A one-day ticket for the spectator slope costs 750 crowns for an adult in advance, and those who want to go to the paddock will pay double. Children’s tickets are more advantageous.

“We want to attract families, and the Czech Truck Prix has always been associated with a rich accompanying program. We have a Truck Fest, this year the audience saw, for example, a performance by Libor Podmol, and for next year we want to offer more family attractions,” Zajíček said.

However, there will also be racing cars and competitive rides.
