The Moto Drive Festival was held at the Igora Drive circuit

The Moto Drive 2025 festival, which took place at the Igora Drive Autodrome in the Leningrad Region on June 7 and 8, provided guests with a rich atmosphere with exciting races, spectacular stunts and lively concerts.

So, this year, three disciplines of motorsport were presented at the festival, in which more than 400 athletes competed. At the first stage of the MMT RGP Russian Motocross Championship, the audience was shown spectacular jumps and tough wrestling. At the same time, the weather conditions forced the pilots to show their skills, as well as constantly adapt to the changing track.

The first stage of the Russian A5 Motors Motoring 2025 Motorcycle Racing Championship was also held. Qualifying took place in dry weather, but later it rained on the track. In addition, some of the races took place in a downpour, and the royal class Super bike race was held on drying asphalt. It was not easy for the pilots to keep the motorcycles on the track, but the audience watched with delight the exciting struggle, overtaking and falling.

In addition, the world-famous FMX 13 team showed their most striking tricks. The guests of Moto Drive had the opportunity to see a unique sight: a backflip on a buggy, a trick performed by only four riders on the planet. Stantrading stars Foma Kalinin, Alexander Mikhailov and Sergey Aglish performed in front of the guests.

Spring break: motorcycle sales almost doubled before the season

Russians have come to love Chinese brands, but they don't forget about second-hand classics either.

For the first time, the Avtokultura zone was presented at Moto Drive, which this time was dedicated to motorcycles. The exhibition featured classic and rare models of two-wheeled vehicles. Viewers could trace the history of American, Japanese, Italian and British motorcycles and get acquainted with truly unique examples - the custom bike ArchKPGT—1, created by Hollywood star Keanu Reeves, and the Ducati Desmosedici RR, a MotoGP prototype adapted for public roads.

Several dozen motorcycles participated in the parade, from the Piaggio Vespa scooter and the Czechoslovakian Jawa 350 to a variety of Triumph and Harley-Davidson.

A drum show and a brass cover band performed throughout the event, and concerts by popular hip-hop artists concluded both days. So the rapper ST (Alexander Stepanov) "rocked" the audience with his songs, and on June 8, the musical program was opened by performers 10AGE (Dmitry Panov) and Feduk (Fedor Insarov), who sang their popular hits.

In addition, very young athletes took part in the competition — 80 participants from two to seven years old met to determine the strongest in cross-country skiing and cycling.
