With 25,000 entries from motorcycle and quad riders per year, the ADASM (Association for the Development of Motor Sports Activities) had become too small to assume sole administrative and financial management of the circuit. The French Motorcycle Federation is welcome to support it. The circuit will be modernized. A pilot school could see the light of day in 2030.
Created on 23 hectares of the port of Dunkirk in 2002, the motorcycle circuit struggled to offer anything new. The FFM already provides its expertise and ensures security. Sébastien Poirier, president of the FFM:
By 2030, the Federation and the ADSM also aim to create a pilot school. Sébastien Poirier, president of the FFM:
The French Motorcycle Federation owns 12 circuits and now manages 3: one in the Landes, one in the Paris region and the one in the north of France at Loon-Plage. Sébastien Poirier, president of the FFM:
The land already offers 4 new redesigned trails and 12 other plans have prefectural authorizations. For Cassel rider Milko Potisek, this proves that sand motorcycle racing is taken seriously:
Many Belgian and Dutch pilots come to train regularly at Loon-Plage. This is the case of the young Belgian pilot Cyril Genot who now spends 6 months of the year at Loon-Plage:
A new website will soon be created, in particular to reserve online access to the land.
The visual identity of the circuit has already been redone. The Logo is made up of the 4 letters of LOON. We can see a driver on a motorcycle crossing an obstacle.
The Ronde des sables de Loon-Plage, 3rd stage of the World Cup will take place on October 26 and 27.
