I've been saying it since Formula 1's owners, Liberty Media, announced that it was buying MotoGP: We're due for a double-header event. Kinda like a double-incursion event from Pacific Rim, you know? Finally, we're seeing that come to reality, though in a far less destructive way than a massive robot vs. kaiju fist fight. Hell, it's even less than I would've guessed, but it does speak to what is likely set for the future.
See, instead of adding a race to either series' calendar, or attempting to merge the calendars this year—though given the hostilities in the Middle East and how the war with Iran has caused those races to be canceled, you likely have the ability to fudge the calendars here and there—Formula 1 is set to play host to an exhibition of MotoGP machines during this weekend's Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, at Circuit of the Americas.
