MotoGP is heading to Saudi Arabia, the race series’ second destination in the Middle East. The agreement was signed earlier on September 5, 2022. Dorna announced on Monday that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Saudi Motorsport Company (SMC) to hold a race in the Middle-Eastern country, another race in the region after Qatar.
MotoGP has been going to the Middle East to race since 2004, in Qatar. The MOU will mark the second location in the region that hosts a Grand Prix race. It’s no secret that the country is capable of building a world-class circuit and hosting world-class events since MotoGP isn’t the first top-tier league to be held in the country. Formula 1, Formula E, Dakar, and Extreme E already have events scheduled under the country’s motorsports program.
