Two Grand Prix races are at risk of not happening in the 2024 MotoGP season – Kazakhstan, which has been postponed without a new date due to floods in Central Asia, and India, due to a breach of contract by local promoters.
Hungary was originally set as the replacement round on the calendar, but Balaton Park is also facing difficulties, with even the presence of the World Superbike Championship in doubt.
Could Portimão host a second Grand Prix in Portugal, as it did during the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021? Miguel Oliveira (Trackhouse Racing/Aprilia) was asked about this possibility and replied:
– That really depends on Dorna’s contract for replacement circuits. I don’t know the details of the contract that Dorna has with Portimão to be honest with you. But for sure I would be happy, I don’t mind.
