COTA: F1 and MotoGP double-header possible but not probable
Earlier this month, Liberty Media acquired an 86% stake in Dorna Sports, valuing the MotoGP promoter at €4.2 billion, hinting at collaboration between F1 and MotoGP. COTA chairman Epstein sees potential for a joint weekend but acknowledges the logistical challenges that come with it. Despite these hurdles, he embraces Liberty’s involvement, foreseeing COTA as a major beneficiary and advocate for MotoGP in the US. Epstein emphasizes the value of shining a spotlight on MotoGP without altering the sport itself. COTA announced a unique ticket buy-back scheme for early bird F1 ticket holders, aiming to highlight the value and excitement of their events. This move showcases their commitment to enhancing the fan experience and boosting interest in motorsports.
