The High-Performance Motorcycle Racing Centre on the  Castellolí Circuit in Barcelona offers all students at the Campus Circuit Parcmotor a 4,140-metre high-speed track, 14,000 m2 of paddock on facilities used by leading manufacturers for testing and developing new models of vehicle.

This speciality is popular among competitive riders to improve their control over their machines when they start skidding. Champions like Marc Márquez, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi are great fans of the sport.

The territory will become a benchmark for development of the industry and the competition world while generating wealth for the local area.

                                                                       

Three pillars for achieving success

The goal is to make the Campus Circuit Parcmotor a world leading high-performance motorcycle racing centre where talented young riders who will compete in future world cup championships can come together and receive coaching. The programme is based on three fundamental pillars with two strategic organisations from elite competition: DORNA SPORTS, which includes the Campus Circuit Parcmotor in the Dorna Sports and Road to

 

MotoGP™ programmes, and ICATME DEXEUS (Catalan Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Institute or Instituto Catalán de Traumatología y Medicina Deportiva) the clinic that will provide comprehensive coverage, medical insurance and treatment of injuries incurred by all Campus motorcycle riders;

Finally, the Campus Circuit Parcmotor focuses its training on both the personal and competitive development of young future riders.  

 

 

DORNA SPORTS and Road to MotoGP™

Dorna Sports is the exclusive holder of marketing and television rights of the World Road Racing Championship of the FIM Gran Prix (MotoGP™) and the FIM World Superbikes Championship (World SBK), among others.

In 1998, Dorna Sports started organising what is now known as the CEV Repsol of the FIM to allow talented young motorcyclists to hone their skills and potential in optimal surroundings.

As a result of this and other projects that encourage young talent, professional motorcycle riders like Casey Stoner, Dani Pedrosa, Toni Elías, Joan Olivé, Horishi Aoyama, and many more have won important championships.

In 2007, Dorna Sports and Red Bull teamed up to launch the Red Bull MotoGPTM Rookies Cup, which Dorna has co-organised from the start. This championship has shown several important synergies for the FIM Moto3™ championship.

In 2017, Dorna Sports created the “Road to MotorGPTM” brand, a quality seal granted to specific programmes that fulfil a set of requirements that make them worthy of this recognition. The Dani Rivas Cup, Cuna de Campeones, La Copa Juvenil de Oceanía and the Escuela de Carreras de Suzuka are among the programmes included in the Road to MotoGP™. These training programmes are supervised by the Dorna Sports Talent Promotion Department.

The combination of the facilities and resources of the Campus Circuit Parcmotor and Dorna Sports represent a step forward in the promotion of young motorcycle riders and their competitive success.

Therefore, Dorna Sports has given Campus Circuit Parcmotor with the honour of including it in the Road to MotoGP™ programme.

 

The excellence of an elite medical and training centre

The Catalan Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Institute in the Dexeus Clinic in Barcelona is one of the world's leading centres for treating orthopaedic injuries of all types, particularly sports injuries. Institute director Dr Xavier Mir, has more than 30 years’ experience, is a leading specialist in sports medicine and is also the clinician responsible for the health of all the motorcycle riders at the Campus Circuit Parcmotor. Dr Mir has treated well-known sportsmen like Àlex Crivillé, Dani Pedrosa, Marc Márquez, Fabio Quartararo, Alex Rins, Maverick Viñales, and Jorge Lorenzo.

 

 

Learning, the key to creating real champions

As well as sports coaching, the drivers will also receive other types of training. In cooperation with the Technical School of Girona (Escola Tècnica de Girona (ETG)), Campus Circuit Parcmotor has devised a tailored programme for the riders.  Not only does it strengthen their skills and improve their training, it also works on their self-training abilities to make them self-reliant in the future, with particular emphasis on psychological and learnings in sports values.

The Circuit Parcmotor Castellolí considers "it an honour to be part of this ambitious project with prestigious partners in the sector like Dorna and ICATME. This fantastic new opportunity will make the Anoia area a Mecca for competitions and motorsports and a top choice for training young riders”, said Xavier Bartrolí, president of the Circuit Parcmotor Castellolí.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports: We are very proud to welcome the Campus Circuit Parcmotor to the Road to MotoGP and support the first facility of its kind in the world. At Dorna we have always been committed to talent promotion and our core values in supporting young riders fit perfectly with those of Campus Circuit Parcmotor – understanding that getting better as a rider and athlete is a 360 project and is not just about skill on the bike. The amazing range of facilities and services offered at Campus Circuit Parcmotor will ensure that the riders who visit the campus will have the best chance they possibly could in becoming part of the next generations of champions, and it makes me very happy to know that their futures will be in expert hands.”
