The opening ceremony was presented by the journalist Izaskun Ruiz and it was a review of all the links that make up the Aspar Universe, the first global academy of motorcycling.

The Aspar Circuit, a motor theme park
Located in Guadassuar (Valencia), the Aspar Circuit will house the headquarters of the CFMOTO Aspar Team and will have facilities that go beyond the circuit itself. The space will consist of four competition tracks (a 2.2 kilometer main track, an 850 meter karting track, an 816 meter dirt track, and an 18,000 m2 asphalt track), a 10,000 m2 paddock, more than 100 boxes, the Aspar Museum, restaurant, terrace, multifunction rooms, heliport and infirmary.
The Aspar Circuit thus becomes a center for the development of talent at all levels. Here the young promises of motorcycling will receive advice for their technical, physical, academic and communication preparation. The Aspar Circuit covers everything from road safety for children to the Moto3, Moto2 and MotoE World Championship structures, as well as the Spanish Championship team, the European Talent Cup and the JuniorGP. But not only riders are trained, but also mechanics through the Aspar KSB Technical Academy.
But the Aspar Circuit is much more and will also be a meeting point for motorsport fans. In fact, it will host the karting discipline of the FIA Motorsport Games 2024. In addition, the Circuit facilities are available for motor racing fans to train with their own vehicle or rent one from the available fleet. The facilities are also prepared to organize road safety classes, driving school practices or exhibitions. On the other hand, the Aspar Circuit also seeks to become a business space where companies can develop any type of commercial, corporate or business activity.
Jorge Martínez “Aspar”, CEO Aspar Circuit: “Today is an incredible day for me. I made my debut in Guadassuar 45 years ago and at that time I just wanted to be a rider. Now we are a school, a team and we have a wonderful circuit to promote it. We are going to be the reference worldwide. We want to make this project great”.
Carlos Mazón, president of the Generalitat: “This is a project that has come to stay in the Comunitat Valenciana. One of our hallmarks is motorcycling and this circuit will help us to keep it that way, it will make us shine”.
Nico Terol, sporting director CFMOTO Aspar Team: “It is a very important day for the whole team. We are a very successful team, but the difficult thing is not to get there, it’s to stay there, and we fight every day to achieve it. Now, the Aspar Universe is going to help us continue to grow.
