2023 MotoGP Provisional Calender – Indian GP Details

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.
