MotoGP will host 20 races in 2022. That number already eclipses the series’ 19-round single-season record. Had organizers moved forward with the Grand Prix of Finland scheduled for July 10, 2022, the 2022 MotoGP season would have consisted of 21 rounds. Now, it looks like Dorna will surpass even that figure after adding Kazakhstan to its 2023 docket.
The Central Asian country and former Soviet republic will become the 30th nation to host a motorcycle Grand Prix. Located on the outskirts of Kazakhstan’s most populated city, Almaty, the Sokol International Racetrack features a 2.8-mile circuit made up of 13 corners. The course will be the 74th venue to hold a Grand Prix since 1949.
