"Trace Group Hold" PLC is the only Bulgarian company and one of the few in the wold, that are licensed for construction of a trace for the final round of the World championship in motocross in the discipline free-style, known as "Night of the Jumps". Two years now TRACE is constructing the trace for one of the oldest and biggest international series of motocross freestyle in the world.
How was the track constructed?
After the dismantling of the basketball surface of the hall with an area of 3,000 m2 we started the construction of the track. The first step was infill of proper covering that will keep the floor from damage. Two special ramps with height of 4,5 m and width of 12 m were constructed. The final stage was completed by the installation of the stage and five ramps that to be used for jumps during the completion. Together with that, special lighting and sound system was installed.
For extremely short period of time, the team of "Trace Group Hold" PLC succeeded in constructing the trace for the final round of the world motocross championship in the discipline freestyle in December 2011 and in December 2012. During both years, the construction was completed for 60 hours, instead of 72 hours, as it was provided by the organizers and for 15 hours, the initial state of the hall was re-established.
The preparation of the competition track was taking in consideration the requirements of FIM, according to which for its construction are used about 1,200 m3 special soils (about 60 lorries with trailers) 1,000 bales of straw, about 3,600 m2 special covering. In 2011, the track was pronounced as the best in the world by the president of the commission for "Motocross and supermoto" at the International Federation of Motorcycling, Wilfgang Srab.
With this reward, Bulgaria was the first country in the history of motor sports, which won the 4 prices for No. 1 tracks in the world for one season.
