After a period of inactivity, the Motocross circuit of Arbis, in Porte-de-Benauge, formerly called Moto-Club de la Vallée du Roc, was resumed in 2022. The provision of the circuit by the town hall, and with its support, was made on July 5, 2023 to the new association, the Moto Club d’Arbois MX Legend Porte-de-Benauge. 13 members founded this new Moto-Club and fifteen volunteers come to help once every two weeks for the repair of the circuit.
The aim of the association is to revive this land, to revive it and also its fame. work has been undertaken since July 2023 and have not yet been completed. The track is being traced over three -quarters of the circuit, a quarter being deprived. The state was deplorable with 3 meters of brambles. It was necessary to clean everything and displease, in particular to remove 3 km of buried pipes and 1 km of aluminum pipes as well as tires. The old refreshment bar was also out of use and the association was also managed with the remaining premises by redeveloping them.
The part of the circuit already cleaned.
