‘Horrible’ heat prompts MotoGP to slash Indian GP race distance
Due to extreme weather conditions including high temperature and humidity at the Buddh International Circuit, this weekend’s Indian Grand Prix will be shortened by three laps. The riders, teams, organizers, and tyre suppliers have reached an agreement to adjust the race distances in order to help manage the challenging conditions and physical exertion. The hot and humid conditions have been even more draining than other high-temperature races. As a result, one lap will be taken off the Tissot Sprint, Moto2, and Moto3 races, while the MotoGP Grand Prix race will be shortened by three laps. The decision was made in consultation with tyre manufacturer Michelin and is supported by the riders.
