Launched as the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix in 1949, MotoGP is now the oldest and most prestigious motorcycle racing tour in the world. Last September, Dorna Sport, the organiser of MotoGP revealed MotoGP's provisional calendar for the 2023 season with 21 race weekends spread across 19 countries. It's interesting to note that MotoGP confirmed two new series at Sokol International Racetrack in Kazakhstan and Buddh International Circuit in India. So, the number of MotoGP race series in Asia will increase to 8 rounds including Australia while the number of race series in Europe will decrease to 11 rounds for the upcoming season.
The Asian market is getting more and more attractive after the number of spectators at several rounds in Europe declined quite significantly in 2022.
