MotoGP won’t race in India in 2025 after all. Will it ever get back to Buddh? Simon Patterson’s not optimistic
The next Indian Grand Prix in MotoGP has been officially postponed for at least one more year, with doubts increasing on its return to the Buddh International Circuit due to financial issues. Despite a successful inaugural race in 2023, challenges such as visa problems and a marshals’ strike impacted the event. Originally planned for 2024, the race was cancelled due to payment disputes with the organizers. The event was then rescheduled for 2025, but has now been postponed to 2026. Amid political turbulence, the future of MotoGP returning to Buddh International Circuit seems uncertain. Meanwhile, the Portuguese Grand Prix has secured spots on the calendar for 2025 and 2026 with government support to promote the country as a tourist destination and a host of major sporting events.
