Speaking about Dorna’s recent visit, Pushkar Nath Srivastava - COO, FairStreet Sports, said, “With less than 124 days for the mega event, we had some important operational discussions as well as detailed marketing, branding, sponsorship and conversations related to the broadcast of the race. It is heartening to see how important MotoGP Bharat is from the global perspective as well as for us, the Indian stakeholders alongside the government."

He further added, “MotoGP Bharat will not only encourage a diverse range of fans to come and witness the onsite marvels but also explore the unique milieu of rich culture, heritage and history. We anticipate a significant boost to the tourism industry, and this event is poised to unlock tremendous investment opportunities for the state of Uttar Pradesh."

The Bharat GP is scheduled as the 13th race on the MotoGP calendar and will see a total of 42 teams and 84 riders across MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 categories. The relatively unknown track in the MotoGP circles should also make for an interesting affair, which will certainly have an impact on the championship as well. Tickets for the Bharat GP are yet to open.
