The CEO of Liberty Media, the new owner of MotoGP, confirmed discussions about hosting a race at the Miami circuit, which already hosts Formula 1. Derek Chang mentioned that talks were ongoing with event organizers to explore the potential of MotoGP in the US.
Miami seems like a suitable location due to its existing track, but several aspects need to be addressed, such as safety concerns and commercial viability. Liberty aims to expand MotoGP’s presence in the US, considering it an important market for growth.
While the idea of a second US race is a long-term project, Liberty first prioritizes strengthening MotoGP in its home market. A potential Miami race signifies a shift towards street races, aligning with the strategy of bringing events closer to urban centers.
Chang emphasized the importance of conveniences like airports, hotels, and access for fans, reflecting Liberty’s approach of enhancing the overall race experience. Plans to move races closer to cities have already begun, with an eye on facilitating international travel and maximizing infrastructure benefits.
