Instant INFO during the event is communicated via a Whatsapp group in which only the organisation can post INFO.

We highly recommend this!
We have created a second Whatsapp Group - which we call from now on the "CHAT BOX" - in which all participants can post.
This group is mainly intended to ask each other questions (and give each other answers) about a spare part you need, a certain INFO that you cannot find on the website (even if it is indeed there ;-), etc.
There will be no official information or communication posted in this Group.
The organisation is not a member of this groupo and will therefore not answer any questions.
It is not necessary to join this group, but it can be fun and sometimes even useful. You can leave this group at all times.
Automotodrom Grobnik is a permanent race track close to Rijeka in Croatia, also known as "Rijeka" amongst the biker community.
The Grand Prix of Yugoslavia was held there between 1978 and 1990.

In all those years the GP 500cc was won only by well-known names: Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Gardner, Eddie Lawson, Freddie Spencer, Franco Uncini, Randy Mamola and Kenny Roberts.
In 1988 it was Wayne Gardner who won the GP 500cc
The year that Valentino Rossi was born (1979), his father Graziano Rossi won the GP 250cc.
The track has always been fantastic, but the asphalt has been completely renewed in 2018, making it a real WINNER again!
Beautiful setting - Fascinating track - Renewed asphalt
Rijeka (located 50 km from the circuit) is the third largest city in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split) and the main port city on the Adriatic Sea.
In 2016, Rijeka was chosen as the European cultural capital for 2020. The city is definitely worth a visit.

Opposite the city of Rijeka is the island of Krk - also called the "Golden Island" - on which the airport of the city is located.
Rijeka and Krk have been connected since 1980 by an imposing bridge that is called "Krcki Most".

In 2022, for the 11th consecutive year, EYBIS has the support of the factory BMW Motorrad in Munich.
This means we can enable you to test the new BMW S 1000 RR on the track!
The cost of a test ride is 20 €.
This includes:
After the morning briefing you can - between 9.00 and 10.00 - register for a test session.
What to bring along:
Together we will determine in which session you will test the new BMW S 1000 RR on the track.
Then we attend you at the EYBIS pit box 15’ before your test session, where you will be assigned a coach.
After a brief introduction, he will explain the main features of your test motorcycle.
After finishing your test ride you will be "received" by your coach who will be interested in your feedback.
Normally, you can test a BMW during a session of 20' on the circuit.
Renting a BMW for a day or a complete event is usually impossible.
For people who can prove that geographically they come from too far to be able to bring their own motorcycle to our event, we can make an exception.
Concretely this usually means: living outside Europe.
That way, we already could welcome at our events clients coming from:
The number of motorcycles is limited.
Included in the price of 600 € / day are:
To pay in cash on the spot: 600 € / day + 2.000 € caution

There is a petrol station in the paddock.
UPDATE: the petrol station is currently out of order!
There are several Restaurants on site and close by.
In the paddock and in the boxes conventional as well as 3-pole (blue) EURO “Camping”-plugs can be used (= of the type “16 AMP two-pole”).
We will not verify this, it 's only for your own comfort / safety, especially in Spain and Portugal.
VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to have your "European Health Insurance Card" (EHIC) with you. By showing this card, people know - in the domain of health (and injury) insurance - that you're completely covered in your own country and that every other country, that is a member of the European Union, has to give you all the needed care.If you haven't obtained your card from your health care insurance, than :
A list of "Dangerous sports" that are excluded from "urgent medical care abroad". Usually, "racing with car / motorcycle / outboard engines" is listed. But as we do not "race", our activity is not excluded from any treatment. Check if this is also the case with your insurance, and if it is not, just be sure to get an insurance yourself.
EYBIS has not only a very good insurance as an organiser, but insures also - on every event - all participants with a good TPL (= third partie liability) insurance.
If you have a racing license from your national motorcycle council, be sure to bring it with you.
