Why MotoGP’s COTA thriller was just what Liberty wanted to see
The ‘Make Some Noise Meter’ is a common feature in American sports stadiums, designed to hype up the home crowd and intimidate the opposing team. However, there’s no need for artificial noise at outdoor racetracks like the Circuit of the Americas (COTA), where the excitement is genuine and palpable. The recent MotoGP round at COTA saw fans reacting passionately to thrilling on-track action, overtaking maneuvers, and unexpected incidents. With F1 owner Liberty Media’s plans to acquire a majority stake in MotoGP, the American influence on the series is set to increase significantly. This partnership has the potential to elevate MotoGP’s presence in the United States and attract a broader global audience to the sport.
