And, just like that, we’ve been given the nudge into the next MotoGP season!
Dorna’s schedule – still subject to homologation – will purportedly start on the 26th of March at Portimao in Portugual, with potential for rounds in Kazakhstan and India, the latter of which was just announced about a week ago.
“Kazakhstan, all being well, will become the 30th country to host a motorcycle Grand Prix since 1949, with the Sokol Circuit becoming the 74th venue to stage a premier class race,” states the press release from MCN.
“The Indian Grand Prix is set to take place at the Buddh International Circuit on September 24, becoming the 31st country to hold a motorcycle Grand Prix and the 75th venue to host a premier class race.”
“The circuit hosted Formula One between 2011-2013, and has agreed a seven-year deal with Dorna.”
Should we be able to have both India and Kazakhstan in 2023’s docket (and assuming everything passes homologation), next season willl officially be the longest in MotoGP history, sporting seven locations in Asia and rounding the whole shebang in Valencia.
