Indian Grand Prix axed from MotoGP 2026 calendar
MotoGP’s Indian Grand Prix at the Buddh International circuit has been dropped from the 2026 season.
The highest class of motorcycle racing released the calendar of the 2026 season on Thursday.
Last year, MotoGP signed new agreement with the government of the Uttar Pradesh to host the Indian GP for the next three seasons.
The Indian GP debut in 2023 was shortened by three laps after MotoGP riders asked for race distances to be adjusted due to the hot and humid conditions in September.
Last two year’s event was cancelled because of operational considerations.
