The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM)-sanctioned Grand Prix motorcycle racing series is the top tier of motorcycle road racing competitions. Since the turn of the century, there have been independent motorcycle racing competitions, and major national competitions frequently used the moniker Grand Prix. Coordination of rules and regulations was possible once the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme was established 1949 as the world’s official motorcycle sport regulatory organization.
Selected events could then be used to determine official World Championships. It is the longest-running motorsports championship in the world. Two riders from each of the 11 teams’ rosters make up the 22 cyclists for the 2023 season. In 2023, this global sport will host 21 Grand Prix competitions. India will be one of these places this season.
MotoGP Bharat
India is one of the largest two-wheeler marketplaces, and the championship’s organizers, Dorna Sports, have identified it as a crucial market. The first-ever top-level motorcycle race will be held in India at “MotoGP Bharat,” which is scheduled to be the first MotoGP race ever.
UP CM Yogi Adityanath endorsed MotoGP Bharat by stating that the event will boost hospitality and tourism and serve as a platform for the state to gain international recognition. He continued by saying that the government will do everything in its power to help and ensure the success of the whole MotoGP Bharat.
Venue
Beginning in 2023, the competition will be contested at the Buddha International Circuit in Greater Noida, close to New Delhi. Hermann Tilke of Germany created the 4.970-kilometer course. Four million cubic tons of soil were transported to achieve the rise and fall across the lap. The track is in Jaypee Green Sports City and spans 875 acres (354 hectares). The 2013 Superbike World Championship was initially scheduled to hold a round at the Buddha International Circuit. However, the circuit’s running costs forced the cancellation of that event.
The BIC was designed for motorcycle and vehicle racing and held three Formula One Indian Grand Prix (2011–2013). A few modifications are being made to the circuit to comply with current safety regulations since the MotoGP bikes have changed since the course was homologated. There are no pit stops throughout the race; it is nonstop from beginning to end. Moto GP is the first high-profile racing event at the Buddha International Circuit since Formula One left India in 2013.
