Recently, Indian MotoGP fans rejoiced at the news of MotoGP coming to India. After a few initial rumours, the news was confirmed. Then came the official news. Dorna Sports, organiser of MotoGP, and Fairstreet Sports have signed an MoU for 7 years to bring the pinnacle of motorcycle racing to India.
And right before the Thailand GP in Buriram, MotoGP also announced the provisional calendar for next year’s championship. This gives us an idea of when the races will be held. And more importantly, when all the motorcycle motorsports action will grace India.
For 2023, MotoGP will have even more races and countries than before. There will be a total of 21 races in 2023. For next year, MotoGP will also have a new season opener event at the Portuguese GP. This is scheduled for 24th to 26th of March 2023. This is also unlike most of the previous years where the Qatar GP has been the season opener. Here are all the provisional dates and events for the 2023 MotoGP Championship –
The Indian GP, or “Grand Prix of Bharat”, will take place at the Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida, between the 22nd and 24th of September 2023. However, since the track was initially planned for Formula 1, it is likely that it needs homologation and regulatory approvals for the MotoGP event.
The Indian GP is not the only new track for 2023. The Kazakhstan GP will also make its debut in 2023. The 2023 season of MotoGP is set to have the highest number of races and participating countries ever. Thus, it will be a season that MotoGP fans can’t afford to miss.
