Claude Michy, the master architect behind the success of the French MotoGP Grand Prix, announced a piece of news that delights speed enthusiasts.
The French MotoGP Grand Prix at Le Mans will remain on the world championship calendar until 2031. This contract extension with Dorna ensures the presence of MotoGP in France for several additional seasons.
The announcement was made during the press conference presenting the 2025 French Grand Prix. “It is my immense pleasure, honor, and pride to announce its renewal (the French Grand Prix) until 2031”, said Claude Michy. Since 2000, the event will continue to take place at the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans, which will celebrate its 25th year of this partnership in 2025 during the event scheduled for May 9, 10, and 11.
An experience to live once in a lifetime
In recent years, the French Grand Prix has established itself as an unmissable event in MotoGP, attracting record-breaking attendance. In 2024, no less than 297,471 spectators attended the three days of competition, making it the most followed event in the history of the championship. Only on Sunday, 119,145 spectators were present, confirming the enthusiasm of the French audience.
The success of this race is driven by the passion of motorcycle fans and the performances of Johann Zarco and Fabio Quartararo, who have significantly contributed to popularizing MotoGP in France. But beyond the competition, the French Grand Prix is also a highlight of motorcycling culture. Many riders make the trip every year, taking advantage of initiatives such as free highways for two-wheelers during the weekend. In 2023, a large parade brought together about a hundred motorcyclists around the two French riders.
Voted “best Grand Prix” in 2022, Le Mans was also the venue for the 1,000th race of the MotoGP world championship in 2023. With this extension, the story between Sarthe and MotoGP continues, promising many exciting years for speed fans.
