From year to year, the MotoGP calendar only undergoes modest modifications. Age-old traditions and multi-year contracts play a role in those copy-paste jobs, but MotoGP organizing body Dorna is intent on expanding the series’ appeal and reach. That initiative led to a flurry of new contracts signed in September, 2022, alone.
From Saudi Arabia to India to Kazakhstan, Dorna’s inkwell is running low after securing deals with three future venues. Two of those countries, India and Kazakhstan, will host a Grand Prix as early as 2023. Those additions are helping to reshape MotoGP travel schedules in the new year.
