The Circuit Ricardo Tormo has hosted the latest edition of Racing Legends, featuring the latest Valencian world champion Jaume Masià.
Algemesí rider Jaume Masià, who was crowned Moto3 world champion in 2023, unveiled his sculpture at the Circuit’s access roundabout alongside Nicolás Collado, general director. With this recognition, the Circuit pays tribute to the career of the latest Valencian world champion and his close ties to the Cheste track, where he trained as a rider from his early days in the Cuna de Campeones.
“It’s an honor to have my bust here; I’m happy and very grateful to the Circuit. I grew up here, I trained here as a rider and as a person, and being part of the circuit with this tribute and having Turn 11 named after me is a true privilege,” Masià stated.
Among the activities carried out, a discussion panel on Valencian motorcycle riders was held, featuring Jaume Masià, Héctor Faubel, Jorge Navarro, Sergio Fuertes, and Julián Miralles.
Faubel recalled his Grand Prix victories in 2006 and 2007 and analyzed the current state of the world championship. Moto2 rider Jorge Navarro shared some anecdotes and explained his evolution at the controls of the Forward.
Julián Miralles expressed his pride in having participated in the training of so many young riders, and veteran Sergio Fuertes recalled his time in the Superbike World Championship and his successes in classic motorcycle racing.
Additionally, the Classic motorcycle race was held, with Alberto Nebot taking victory ahead of José Rafael Lledó and Víctor Ortega. In the Vintage category, Sergio Fuertes prevailed. All this took place on a day that once again brought together hundreds of classic vehicles, including motorcycles, Grand Prix bikes, cars, and trucks.
The Circuit will once again gather motor enthusiasts in April: the weekend of the 11th and 12th with the Racing Weekend celebration, and the 18th and 19th with EuroNascar and truck races. Tickets are now available HERE
