MotoGPTM
The oldest motorsports championship in existence is also the most exciting in the world. MotoGPTM has been thrilling race fans since 1949 when it was inaugurated as the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix, and is constantly winning new fans as it continues to expand around the globe.
Its 20-round season visits a total of 17 countries across four continents, showcasing the planet’s fastest motorcycle racers in its three categories comprising the Moto3TM, Moto2TM and MotoGP™ World Championships – as the pinnacle of motorcycle racing. 2023 also brings a new format to the circuits: the Sprint races. It will take place at 15:00 on the Saturday of each Grand Prix and will be approximately 50% of the full race distance, awarding the winner 12 points and, consecutively, until the 9 th spot, the rules will be the same: half the points of the Sunday Race.
MotoGPTM is the best motorcycle racing show on earth, featuring the best riders on the planet riding the most technologically advanced and fastest prototypes in the world.
THE WORLD’S PREMIER MOTORCYCLING CHAMPIONSHIP
MotoGPTM is the pinnacle of motorcycle racing and for the past 25 years it has been a story of successful collaboration between the FIM, IRTA, the MSMA and Dorna.

MotoGP™ features the fastest prototype machinery on the planet. Producing over 250hp on a bike that weighs less than 60kg results in 0-100km/h (62mph) acceleration in under three seconds, and top speeds above 350km/h (217mph). Add to this the lean angles of over 60 degrees and braking forces more than 1.5G, the sheer skill and bravery of the riders is clear.
Breath-taking races, charismatic and daring riders, unmatchable history and truly global television coverage generate an unrivalled reach for MotoGPTM. This international exposure shows how far-reaching MotoGPTM is. The diversity in the series is also highlighted by the 18 nationalities that are currently represented in the 2021 World Championship.
Three different categories of excitement, drama and adrenalin
