For 2015 the MX Nationals series will see the return of tradition to the race track, with the announcement today of the MX1, MX2, and MXD class formats for next season.

Williams Event Management (WEM) has announced the all-new standardised class formats for all 10 rounds of the MX Nationals series.

The premier MX1 class will race the traditional two 30-minute motos plus a lap at all 10 rounds of the series, ensuring that the best riders in the country are racing on the same level as their international competitors.

With the majority of the MX2 class populated by privateer riders who often work 9-5 jobs during the week, 2015 will see riders take on one 30-minute moto plus a lap. The second race of the day for the MX2 class, will be one 20-minute moto plus a lap.

Next season the MXD class will compete at all 10 rounds of the MX Nationals, increasing race time for Australia’s up-and-coming stars.

With 10 rounds of racing for MXD, WEM has confirmed that the development class will race two 20-minute motos plus a lap, ensuring that riders are well prepared for when they make the move to the MX2 or MX1 class in future years.
