According to Circuit of The Americas chairman Bobby Epstein, holding a Formula 1 and MotoGP race on the same weekend at the track is “possible” but not very likely. F1’s owners Liberty Media recently announced their agreement to purchase the commercial rights to MotoGP, pending approval from relevant authorities. COTA is one of only five venues worldwide currently hosting both F1 and MotoGP rounds. Epstein believes it would be challenging to manage both events simultaneously due to logistical and sponsorship complexities. Despite the challenges, Epstein sees Liberty’s involvement as a positive step for MotoGP in the U.S. and anticipates benefits for COTA. In the long run, Epstein hopes Liberty’s media empire will enhance MotoGP’s visibility and fan base in the United States.
