MotoGP revises 2024 calendar as Argentina cancelled
The 2024 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 event, heavily subsidized by the government, was under threat due to spending cuts in the country. Argentina has been a regular fixture on the MotoGP schedule since its return in 2014, but has faced challenges in recent years, including a fire and freight delays. The cancellation has led to a three-week gap between the Portuguese GP and the Americas GP in Texas. However, at present, there are no other changes to the calendar, which could still set a record with 21 rounds if the remaining races go ahead as planned. In addition, the inaugural Kazakhstan GP is set to be added in June, and Hungary’s Balaton Park track is on standby as a reserve venue.
