ADAC MX Masters – The Motocross Platform for International Professional and Junior Sport

For more than 20 years, the ADAC MX Masters has been one of Europe’s leading motocross race series. It offers professional riders and young talents the ideal platform to prepare for World and European Championships. Fans can look forward to top riders delivering first-class racing on demanding circuits.

Four race classes – the premier ADAC MX Masters class and the junior categories ADAC MX Youngster Cup, ADAC MX Junior Cup 125 and ADAC MX Junior Cup 85 – attract spectators both at the track and via livestream. Between April and October, up to eight race weekends are held, each featuring practice sessions and championship races on both Saturday and Sunday. Mornings are usually dedicated to practice and qualifying, followed by the championship heats from midday onwards. Each class competes in two to three heats per weekend, offering a full day of exciting motorsport action.

Thanks to its structured development system across four classes, the series strengthens national and international top-level racing as well as junior development. Professional and reliable organisation, strong industry support and the direct involvement of motorcycle manufacturers such as KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Triumph, Husqvarna and GasGas make the series highly popular among riders and teams.

Many former and current stars of international motocross and supercross began their careers in the ADAC MX Masters and its junior classes. Current superstars such as Ken Roczen, Jeffrey Herlings, Jorge Prado, Simon Längenfelder, Tim Gajser, Max Nagl, Jeremy Seewer, Jordi Tixier and Romain Febvre have celebrated ADAC titles and some still compete in the series today. Former top riders and world champions including Ken DeDycker, Davide Philippaerts, Joel Smets, Mickael Pichon, Steve Ramon, Ben Townley, Tyla Rattray, Kevin Strijbos and Evgeny Bobryshev are also listed among its champions. Germany’s elite riders such as Dennis Ullrich, Marcus Schiffer, Henry Jacobi and Tom Koch have won titles in at least one of the classes. Athletes from other disciplines, including FMX rider Mat Rebeaud and road racers Michael Ranseder and Dario Giuseppetti, also competed in the ADAC MX Junior Cup during their early careers.

Spectators at the venues can enjoy much more than the on-track action. The event programme includes autograph sessions with the stars, exhibitor and accessory stands, spectacular shows, activities for children and families such as kids’ riding areas with mini motorcycles and quads or trial sessions with the ADAC MX Academy, as well as evening entertainment and much more.

For fans, this means one thing: at the ADAC MX Masters, they can experience today’s and tomorrow’s top motocross stars live.
