2023 MotoGP Indian Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

India will host its first-ever MotoGP race on the outskirts of Delhi, 10 years after the country last featured on the Formula 1 calendar.

The circuit has undergone a number of changes to adjust to bike racing, although riders don't appear to be completely convinced that the track is safe for MotoGP.

A number of riders and teams have also been delayed by visa issues, shedding further light on the beauracratic issues that have also marred other sporting events in India.
