The British MotoGP at Silverstone will be held at a different time next season.
Namely, next year’s event will be held from May 23 to 25, which is the earliest Silverstone has hosted a British round since the grand prix moved to the Northamptonshire circuit from Donington Park in 2010.
Originally held in June, since 2013 the race has generally been reserved for August or early September.
The date change means MotoGP – which has struggled for crowd numbers in recent years – will become the first of three “major” events at Silverstone, with the Formula 1 Grand Prix in July and the Silverstone Festival at the end of the summer.
Carmelo Espeleta, CEO of Dorna, said: “We’re really happy to confirm when we’ll be back at Silverstone next season. It’s a fantastic venue and the racing here is always great.”
“As part of the 2025 calendar, a new look for us, we are excited to see the British Grand Prix at a different time of the year outside the holiday period, giving even more fans the chance to come to Silverstone.”
“As everyone knows, MotoGP is enjoying a strong trend of positive growth in audiences and audiences around the world. We want to ensure that this event, in a key market, is given the platform and exposure to enable it to play an even bigger role in that.”
Stuart Pringle, CEO, Silverstone added: “Our fans won’t have to wait that long for their next dose of the British Grand Prix and we’re already working to deliver another great weekend full of action, live music, jaw-dropping acrobatics and much more.”
“With these three events, we have prepared the summer for lovers of both two-wheelers and four-wheelers.”
