Since then, over the last 40 years, the total number of spectators the event has attracted tops 300,000. To celebrate the occasion, the Palau Sant Jordi will be setting up moveable stands so that the audience can get a close-up view of the motorsport event.

Other top riders taking part include Takahisa Fujinami (Montesa-Honda), Britain’s James Dabill (Gas Gas) and the guest rider, Jaime Busto (Montesa-Honda).
