MotoGP 2020 race calendar

The MotoGP racing calendar for the 2020 season has been adjusted several times. The rest of the season will run entirely in Europe. The races in Argentina, Thailand and Malaysia have been canceled. That’s why there’s the season finale in Portugal.

The ongoing corona pandemic had forced the MotoGP organizers to keep adjusting the racing calendar for the current season. Most recently, the planned runs in Argentina, Thailand and Malaysia were canceled. Before that, the US GP in Austin for 2020 was canceled. Another race was added in Europe for this purpose.

Season finale in Portugal without fans

It is now also clear that the season finale will take place in Portimao, Portugal from November 20-22. And the organizers have long expected that fans will be allowed back on the track, because the ban on major sporting events ended on September 30th. 30,000 to 50,000 fans were expected at the season finale. The Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa is now rejecting this fan festival. On October 25, 2020, Formula 1 made a guest appearance in the Algarve – with fans. Apparently so many corona rules were disregarded that it has now been decided to lock out the fans for the MotoGP final. “We have already informed the organizers that the MotoGP race will take place without an audience as it turns out that we are unable to organize events of this size with spectators”, explained Acosta.

In addition, a new agreement has been reached with the organizers of the Thai GP confirming that the run at the Chang International Circuit will remain on the MotoGP calendar until at least 2026.

Rejection after rejection

On April 21, the Netherlands announced the ban on public events until September 2020. The race in Assen was canceled. Next, the Finns deleted the race weekend at the Kymi Ring in July from the calendar. The GP of Germany at the Sachsenring did not take place either. In contrast to some other races, however, the German GP was completely canceled. This means that the MotoGP stars will not visit Germany again until 2021. Originally, the MotoGP was supposed to be a guest in this country from June 19th to 21st. The tickets that were supposed to be valid for this season and have already been purchased are now valid for the 2021 race. However, there is also the option of returning the tickets.

The Austin GP in the USA should be rescheduled, as well as the races in Argentina, Thailand and Malaysia. Dorna commented on this on June 11 with the following wording: “The possibility of holding events outside of Europe will be examined and confirmed before July 31st. However, the 2020 season will end no later than December 13th and will have a maximum of 17 events (including the Qatar Grand Prix).”

Financial support and changes to the regulations

Due to the previous cancellations and postponements and the resulting lack of income for the MotoGP teams, Dorna has now decided to give the endangered teams financial support. Accordingly, Dorna has guaranteed all independent MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 teams a financial aid package for the next three months. According to Dorna, the current aim is to keep the teams alive. The problem is that the teams lack money from sponsorship income and salaries still have to be paid.

In addition, those responsible decided on April 15th, changes to the regulations, which concern the topics of concession points, wildcard use and engine development. The changes aim on the one hand to reduce costs for everyone involved and on the other hand to ensure equal opportunities and fairness.

MotoGP still on ServusTV and DAZN

It is very likely that ServusTV will also broadcast MotoGP in Germany in the coming season. At least the contract with Dorna runs until 2023. By the way, ServusTV has also been broadcasting the races in Austria since 2016. The qualifying sessions and races in Germany are or have been shown live on ServusTV.

Last season the MotoGP was also transferred to DAZN. Last season, the paid online streaming service (EUR 11.99 a month or EUR 119.99 a year) announced that the rights package would initially apply to the 2019 racing year. It is not yet entirely clear whether DAZN will also be broadcasting races in the coming year. In addition, races can continue to use the official and paid “MotoGP VideoPass” be looked at. The VideoPass is available for 19.99 euros per month.
