Motegi to host MotoGP World Championship for another five years
Doha: The future of MotoGP at the Twin Ring Motegi is now secured for another five years, after the venue signed a contract to continue hosting the FIM MotoGP World Championship from 2019 to 2023.
The Japanese venue, one of the showstoppers of the year and home track to many of the most high-profile manufacturers on the grid, celebrates a special milestone in 2017 with its 20th anniversary — making it the perfect time to announce this new agreement.
The first year of the new contract, 2019, will also mark 20 years since the venue first joined the MotoGP calendar in 1999, and the venue has since hosted some of the most pivotal races in the modern era including reigning champion Marc Marquez’s title last season.
With another five years confirmed after the end of the current agreement in 2018, the track will happily remain one of the jewels in the MotoGP calendar.
