The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has signed a new deal with Dorna to remain on the MotoGP calendar until 2031.
Since its debut in 1992, Barcelona has hosted 34 Grands Prix and has the third-most consecutive seasons hosting MotoGP on the current calendar.
“We’re very happy to pen this new agreement with the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya,” said Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta in a statement.
“They never fail to deliver a world-class fan weekend, we always have impressive attendance figures, and the track is so well connected to Barcelona, one of the world’s most culturally relevant cities. This is a winning combination for us and we’re excited to continue racing there.”
“We celebrate this deal, which strengthens Catalonia’s connection to motor racing, particularly the Grand Prix, which has been held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya since 1992, over 30 years ago,” said Miquel Sàmper, Minister of Business and Labour of the Government of Catalonia and president of the Circuit de Barcelona–Catalunya.
“Securing the MotoGP Grand Prix until 2031 is excellent news for Catalonia’s reputation as a host of premier international sporting events.
“In an increasingly internationalized and competitive environment, Catalonia’s ability to maintain a circuit in such a stable manner is an achievement to be proud of.”
Pau Relat, President of Fira de Barcelona and Fira Circuit added: “The extension of the contract until 2031 is excellent news for the Circuit. We are very pleased to continue hosting the premier motorcycle racing championship, which has been linked to the Catalan track since 1992 and has an enormous worldwide impact.
“At Fira Circuit, we are committed to collaborating with the institutions, Dorna, and the entire MotoGP community to ensure that the Grand Prix consistently meets the highest standards and becomes, year after year, an unforgettable experience for fans and members of the championship.”
