MotoGP revises 2024 calendar as Argentina cancelled
This year’s MotoGP calendar, originally planned to be the longest in history with 22 rounds, has been impacted by the cancellation of the Argentina Grand Prix. The Argentine government’s spending cuts under the new president have affected the heavily subsidized race at Termas de Rio Hondo. Argentina had been on the MotoGP calendar since 2014, except for the COVID-19 affected years. The event has faced challenges in recent years, including a fire in 2021 and freight delays in 2022. MotoGP hopes to return to Argentina in 2025. Without any further calendar changes, 21 rounds will still be a record for MotoGP, including the addition of the Kazakhstan Grand Prix. In case of more cancellations, the reserve venue could be Hungary’s Balaton Park track.
