Donington Park's motocross track takes shape

Thousands of tons of soil are being transported into Donington Park circuit’s infield to create the course for the British Motocross Grand Prix.

The event will take place on Saturday, August 25 and Sunday, August 26 at the Leicestershire circuit. The MX1 and MX2 races will take place alongside the Veterans World Cup.

These pictures show work in progress with circuit director Simon Gillett supervising.

New Zealand’s Yamaha rider Joshua Coppins currently leads the MX1 world championship after round 10 in Italy last weekend.
