Counting Michal Orlowski, Ronald Volker, Bruno Coelho and Joern Nuemann among its previous winners, MIBO International returns for a third edition in 2025 with former international touring car racer Michal Bok confirming February 07-09 as the date for the Czech based event.

With everything from the track, restaurant, bowling alley and hotel rooms all under one roof, the venue is always a hit with racers.
