This weekend is another highlight on the events calendars of MotoGP fans. All eyes are set on Wisconsin which is the playground for the Dunlop Championship at Road America from Friday the 31st of May to Sunday the 2nd of June. This race forms the fourth leg in the MotoAmerica Road Racing Series. This legendary piece of the circuit is set between Milwaukee and Green Bay in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The four-mile stretch includes 14 turns and has challenged some of the best racers that the world had to offer since it had been established in 1955. What makes this leg of the race unique is that it has 640 acres of incredible viewpoints, allowing for excellent opportunities not to miss any of the high-speed adrenaline pumping action.

A Wonderful Racing Tradition

In 1976 the AMA Road Racing Championship was first introduced. This event provided a platform for motorcycle manufacturers as well as racing teams to display their performance capabilities and their production models to the racing world. Since the race was first introduced, the championship came a long way. After ups and down it was awarded to Wayne Rainey and the KRAVE Group in 2015, who then with the assistance of some partners, not only renamed the race but also grew it into a great success story. Now known as the MotoAmerica Road Racing Series, it is currently one of the most significant events in the industry. The race offers five classes of road racing. Racers can participate in Superbikes, Stock 1000, Supersport, Twins and Junior Cup. The goal which MotoAmerica set for this championship was to rediscover a keen interest in road racing. They also aim to send their riders to the top-level tournaments.
