The 2023 MotoGP calendar offers two new Grands Prix in its schedule, with the destinations of Kazakhstan and India. If the latter country is included in its integration into a major championship involving motorcycles due to the immense market that this country offers for two motorized wheels, the case of the first advanced nation continues to amaze. But it was necessary to urgently replace an almost stillborn Finnish project to avoid a summer break of five weeks that was far too long.
However, when we discover the subject of Motorsport, we realize that there is still a long way to go before taking the road towards these new routes. As mentioned in the source, the Kazakh Grand Prix and Bharat Grand Prix in India, are circuits never before visited by the premier category. In the Kazakh case, the Sokol circuit is a beginner in leading international competitions, while theIndia has already hosted Formula 1.
"In India, things have changed due to the place given to MotoGP compared to other sports"
For Kazakhstan, Carmelo Ezpeleta, boss of the promoter Dorna mention : " in Kazakhstan, it is currently -20°C ". But what is interesting is the following about India: “In India, we know that it is necessary to tinker with the circuit and it will happen ". And also this: “ we are now in the process of complete the entire contractual part, which is the most complicated. F1 stopped going there for tax reasons and things have changed due to the place given to MotoGP compared to other sports ».
We must hope so, because this administrative burden had also depressed the WSBK in its time. But we note that nothing has yet been definitively resolved. If the Kazakhstan is promised for July 9, India is expected on September 24.
