MotoGP series promoter Dorna is reportedly considering a return to China after a 17-year absence, according to Motorsport.com.
According to Motorsport.com, Dorna is mulling a return to China for the MotoGP series after a long absence, potentially as early as 2027.
The Shanghai International Circuit, which last saw MotoGP action in 2008, may be back on the calendar if reports of Dorna’s interest are to be believed.
CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta and his team have already visited Shanghai to explore options, with an eye on overcoming past challenges faced during the initial Chinese Grand Prix era.
Potential collaborations with local partners like CFMoto and Juss Sports, experienced in organizing Formula 1 races, could shape the new MotoGP project.
Careful planning and stakeholder involvement are key to ensuring the success of the comeback, unlike the previous venture that ended prematurely due to various issues.
