This year, MotoGP celebrates its 75th anniversary, and one of the Grand Prix races this summer could be marked by many memories of times past. The Dutch GP in June or the British GP in August could be the chosen locations for the biggest celebration of the 75 years of the World Championship.
According to Motorsport.com, the promoter Dorna has met with several MotoGP teams to suggest special vintage decorations at a round – probably the British GP at Silverstone.
The MotoGP anniversary is on June 13 – with the Kazakhstan GP, which was postponed, being the closest to the date as it was scheduled for June 14-16. Therefore, the Dutch GP is now the closest to the anniversary date since the first motorcycle World Championship race.
However, teams need time to finalize the special decorations and the British GP from August 2-4 – after the summer break – could be the one to see a true revival on the track.
It is common for teams to use special decorations at times, but for all or almost all of them to do so simultaneously, recalling other eras of the championship’s history, would be unprecedented – and a different celebration of such an important milestone as the 75 years of existence.
