Portuguese Grand Prix Secures Two More Seasons in MotoGP Calendar

Posted : 25 September 2024

The Portuguese Grand Prix is set to remain a key fixture in the MotoGP calendar for the next two seasons, with races scheduled to take place at the Algarve International Circuit in Portimao. This announcement was made by the event organizers on Wednesday, solidifying the race's position after its successful return in 2020, which followed an eight-year hiatus. The circuit has since become a popular venue for the MotoGP community, despite concerns about its future following the passing of CEO Paulo Pinheiro earlier this year.

 

The importance of the Portuguese Grand Prix has been emphasized by local riders and officials. Miguel Oliveira, a Portuguese racer who will join the Pramac Yamaha MotoGP team next season, urged the government to continue supporting the event. This sentiment was echoed by Portugal's Secretary of State for Tourism, Pedro Machado, who highlighted the GP's unique role in promoting Portugal as a prime tourist destination and hosting major sporting events. Machado noted that supporting such initiatives enhances the country's reputation and attractiveness on an international scale.

 

Moreover, the economic benefits of the Portuguese Grand Prix are substantial, as the event draws thousands of visitors, including spectators and team personnel, contributing positively to the regional economy over several days. The recent edition of the race took place in March and was won by Jorge Martin from Pramac Racing, further showcasing the competitive spirit and talent present in the MotoGP series.

 

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports, expressed his delight at confirming the continuation of the Portuguese GP for at least two more years. He praised the Algarve International Circuit for its beauty and the event's growth over the years, noting the positive impact it has had on the local community in terms of sports, economy, and social engagement. As the 2025 season approaches, the Thailand Grand Prix is scheduled to kick off in March, leading to an exciting year for MotoGP fans.
