The 2025 MotoGP calendar, announced only a few weeks ago, already seems to be faltering. The Argentine and Hungarian Grands Prix would indeed be seriously threatened, jeopardizing the coherence of next season which must imperatively offer a minimum of 20 meetings.
Barely a month after the official announcement of the 2025 MotoGP calendar, the first dark clouds are already appearing on the horizon. According to GPOne, the Argentine Grand Prix is in jeopardy and may well be cancelled, with similar concerns about the hungarian race, thus highlighting the flaws in the calendar for the next season.
MotoGP had promised an ambitious calendar of 22 races for 2025, but it seems that two events are already under threat. The unstable economic situation in Argentina, exacerbated by recent political upheavals, raises serious questions about the viability of returning to Termas de Río Hondo. Argentine Grand Prix had already been cancelled in 2024, and despite hopes of its return the following year, the current situation suggests another failure.
Argentina's absence from the calendar would have significant logistical consequences, including a month-long gap between the first race of the season, scheduled in Thailand on March 2, and the next in Austin on March 30This situation would create a damaging imbalance in the calendar, a problem that the organizers want to avoid at all costs.
20 Grands Prix on the calendar is a matter of survival for MotoGP
More argentina is not the only one experiencing difficulties. Hungary, which was to host the MotoGP at Balaton Park, could also be forced to withdraw due to delays in preparation work. The race, scheduled for mid-August, risks being compromised if the necessary authorizations are not obtained in time.
If these two races were to disappear, the 2025 calendar would only have 20 tests, a critical situation for Dorna, who must imperatively respect this quota to maintain its television broadcasting contracts. A further unforeseen event would seriously harm MotoGP's finances.
This uncertainty over the calendar raises fears of a return to repeated races on the same circuits, as during the pandemic period. Once again, MotoGP finds itself in a delicate position, where every decision will have to be taken carefully to preserve the integrity and viability of the competition.
