Motorsports
Are you tempted by high speeds, sharp turns and the smell of oil and gasoline? Then the motorsport line is for you!
At Motorsport you will get a year full of excitement, tinkering, physical training and real motoring feeling.
You will test different motorsport disciplines, learn to turn, and become confident on the bike. Whether you are new or have ridden before, we adapt the program to your level.
Here you will find challenges that give you a sense of accomplishment, a high pulse and memories for life.
In addition, you become part of a cool community with people from all over the country!
This is the line for those of you who dream of feeling the adrenaline pumping , feeling the gravel splashing and the throttle working – whether you are a beginner or already an experienced driver . Here you will have a year filled with motor, mastery and fun . You will test yourself in various motorsport disciplines, challenge your limits and develop your skills both on and off the vehicle. The line is suitable for everyone – whether you have never sat on a motocross bike before, or you have been racing for years.
During the year you can try your hand at the school's own motocross bikes , or enduro at the brand new Skaun Motorsenter , as well as carcross and go-karts ! The class also has its own repair car which is like a blank slate and we can do whatever we want with it. We try to get driving in the winter with a bike, car or snowmobile and e-sim racing when the weather keeps us indoors. Repairing and maintaining cars and bikes is an important part of the course, and the workshop at the school is always open if you have your own project you want to work on too.
We train physically to perform better on the track and learn about social media, sponsorship and how to build yourself as a performer in various motorsport disciplines. You also become part of MK Trondhjem Racing Club and can participate in club training throughout the year.
With guidance from, among others, Thea Johansen (Nordic motocross champion), former student Sofie Harboe (Norwegian silver in road racing in 2025) and the Volvo Media Motorsport Team, you will get inspiration and knowledge from the top of the sport. This is the line for you who want to feel the adrenaline pumping, learn new skills and have a year you will never forget!

"I had never ridden a motorcycle before I started at Trondheimsfjord. The good thing about the course is that you can be a complete beginner or come with experience. I have learned a lot from both fellow students and teachers. And the course is much more than just driving!"
