The inaugural Kazakhstan GP was scheduled for 2023, but the circuit was not ready due to homologation works. The 2024 edition was delayed due to severe flooding, leading to a national emergency. The Sokol International Racetrack will host GP motorcycle racing for the first time on September 20-22, kicking off the 2024 MotoGP calendar’s Asian leg.
