Next year’s British MotoGP round to be held in May.
Next year’s event will be held on May 23-25, the earliest that Silverstone has hosted the British round since it moved to the Northamptonshire circuit from Donington Park in 2010.The date change means the MotoGP - which has struggled for crowd numbers in recent years - will become the first of Silverstone's three ‘major’ events each year, with the Formula 1 Grand Prix in July and Silverstone Festival in late summer.
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports said: “We’re really happy to be able to confirm when we’ll be returning to Silverstone next season. It’s a fabulous venue and the racing here is always fantastic. "As part of what will be a new-look 2025 calendar for us in some ways, we’re excited to celebrate the British GP at a different time of year outside the holiday period giving even more British fans the opportunity to come to Silverstone.
“As everyone knows, MotoGP is enjoying a strong trend of positive growth for audiences and crowds around the world. We want to ensure this event, in a key market, gets the platform and exposure to enable it to play an even bigger role in that.” Stuart Pringle, Chief Executive Officer, Silverstone added: “Our fans won’t have to wait so long for their next British GP fix and we’re already working on putting together another great weekend of MotoGP action, live music, jaw-dropping stunt shows and much more.
