Turn 1 of India’s Buddh International Circuit caught out more grand prix riders than any other corner during the 2023 season.
According to official MotoGP.com stats, the Buddh International Circuit’s tight and slippery right-hander recorded the most falls during the inaugural race, surpassing the number of accidents at Turn 4 in Phillip Island. Moto2 had the highest number of falls at Turn 1, followed by MotoGP and Moto3. The extreme weather in Australia limited the race day action, but Turn 4 would likely have seen more accidents if the full schedule had been completed. Turns 7, 3, and 14 at Le Mans, Misano, and the French and San Marino GPs respectively were also treacherous with 16 accidents each. The new Sprint races had 49 accidents, while the full-length grands prix had 86. The MotoGP class had a record 358 falls, the highest since records began in 2011 and 23 more than last year. Le Mans and Buddh had the highest overall falls in a weekend in 2023, followed by COTA and Sepang. Argentina had the fewest accidents. Marc Marquez had the most falls among premier-class riders in his final Honda season.
