Assen MotoGP

The race circuit in Assen dates back to 1955, the track is one of Motogp`s more challenging circuits, with a top-speed 970m straight and due to the way the corners bank over, it can make for a pretty scary race, scary for the riders, but down right exciting for the spectators.

Although, as I`ve said, the original circuit was opened in 1955, nothing was ever done to improve things that is until fairly recently when the circuit went through some modifications. One major change was the reduction of the overall length of the circuit, down from around 6kms to under 5kms. With the new shorter track length it means that the riders will have to race over 26 laps and not the old 19 laps of before.
