The Assen circuit will donate €50,000 to the Ricardo Tormo Circuit to help pay for machinery d🦩amaged by the deadly flooding which struck Valencia.

The Valencia region was severely affected by devastating flooding at the end of October which has so far kil🔴led over 219 people and caused widespread destruction to infrastructure.

The flooding ultimately led to MotoGP’s Valencia Grand Prix being cancelled, with the race moved to Barc🔜elona and renam💞ed the Solidarity GP as part of the series’ ‘Racing for Valencia’ initiative.

The Ricardo Tormo Circuit itself wasn’t damaged in the flooding, but the access roads and car parks🐲 were.

In a statement released by the circuit, it has also revealed that an exc🌺avator and a crane were damaged in the flooding.

The Assen circuit will donate money to help replace the damaged m🍸achinery, with the new𓂃 vehicles to carry a tribute to the Dutch TT venue.

Ricardo Tormo’s general 🍎manager Nicolas Collado expre🍒ssed “great gratitude” for how the motorsport community has rallied around Valencia.

Assen’s chairman Arjan Bos added: “We are deeply affected by what has happened in the Vꩵalencia region.

“We want to🃏 show that the MotoGP community stands in solidarity ဣwith each other in times of adversity.

꧑“We wish everyone, not just the people of the circuit in Valencia, all the best in these tough times.”

The Valencia circuit will reopen on 5 December for private testing, with the t𒊎rack to be made accessible via an alternate route while the usual approach roads are repaire𒅌d.

MotoGP is running a number of auctions to ඣraise money for the Valencia flood relief.

The Aspar team, which is based in Valencia, currently has a Go Fund Me set up whic🔯h has൲ so far raised €152,944.
