The Spanish Motocross Championship () is the premier domestic Spanish Motocross series, sanctioned by the Real Federación Motociclista Española.
The series runs annually throughout late winter and spring each year. The premier classes are the Elite-MX1 and Elite-MX2 but there are also classes for younger riders, masters and women.
History The Spanish Motocross Championship has existed since 1959. Several riders have had periods of dominance in the history of the championship, with José Butrón holding the highest number of titles at eleven. The classes within the championship have evolved over time in line with what has been seen in the sport around the world.
Event Format Rounds of the Spanish Motocross Championship typically have a two day format. The Elite categories hold their qualifying on the first day, with the main races taking place on the second day. In addition to timed practice sessions, Elite categories compete in a qualifying race (in a similar vain to what happens in the FIM Motocross World Championship) to earn their starting order for the main races. From 2023 onwards, the top-five finishers of the qualifying race will receive points. These points will go towards their championship total, but will not go towards their total for each round.
Points are awarded to the top-five finishers of the qualifying race, in the following format: Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Points 5 4 3 2 1
Points are awarded to finishers of the main races, in the following format:
Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th Points 25 22 20 18 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
