The world is dominated by two main Motocross series; the FIM's Grand Prixs - the World Championship series and the AMA's American National Championshipare two classes; "Motocross" and "Motocross Lites". Each round has two motos of 30 minute-plus-two-laps, per class, held approximately two hours apart.
The Grand Prixs (or Motocross World Championship) is predominantly held in Europe with some "flyaway" rounds, recently in South Africa and Japan, but over its history it has visited numerous countries including America. The format is similar to America with two classes; MX1 and MX2 with two motos per class. The World series is longer, generally incorporating around 16 or more rounds.
The annual Motocross Des Nations (generally left untranslated from French, but occasionally called the Motocross of Nations) is usually held at the end of the year when National and World Championship series have ended. The format involves teams of three riders representing their nations. Each rider competes in a different class (MX1, MX2 and "Open"). There are three motos with two classes competing per moto. The location of the event changes from year to year. The United States, Belgium and Great Britain have had the greatest success.
