Dates for the 2027 ECMX Classic Cup announced, featuring new venues

The calendar for the 2027 ECMX Classic Cup, which will be held across Europe, has been finalised. The season opener will take place on 1 May 2027 in Horažďovice, Czech Republic. Horažďovice is situated near Strakonice, the town where the legendary CZ motocross bikes were manufactured – the very bikes ridden by Paul Friedrichs (Germany, three-time champion), Joel Robert (Belgium, three-time champion) and Viktor Arbekov (USSR) to win the Motocross World Championship.

The second round will take place in Burgenland. Großhöflein is situated near Eisenstadt, not far from the Hungarian border, where numerous international motocross events have already been held. In 1988 and 1989, 125cc European Championship rounds were held on this circuit. In 2017, the track was redesigned by the Belgian MXGP track designer Freddy Verherstraeten.

The track in Gräfentonna, Thuringia – where the season finale will be held on 3 July – is also a venue with a long motocross tradition, which is particularly interesting in the context of motorsport in the GDR. The town is situated in what is now the district of Gotha, between Erfurt and Bad Langensalza. The team championship will take place on 1 September in Apolda.
