Barcelona has signed a new contract until 2031.
The big news about this however is that it'll be one of just two races on the Iberian peninsula from 2027, with Portimao, Jerez, Valencia and Aragon vying for the other spot.
While this does make me breathe a sigh of relief as a resident of the Sachsenring area idk about dumping so many long-time venues at once.

That is, if all these new races are actually gonna happen.

I couldn't really give a rat's where it is run. I aint bothering to attend any circuit. Been to Phillip island a few times but cbfed going again and paying through the nose to be a long way from the track. It is far better on tv imo.
Pick a good circuit and give me more onboard footage is what counts afaic.
 
I've never managed to get the same atmosphere at home as trackside, so hope they'll keep most of the European races.

Sachsenring and Le Mans on my list of tracks to visit, and from a selfish point of view I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll remain on the calendar.
 
I hope Portimao and Jerez will rotate as the second Iberian race. Would hate to lose these tracks completely.
Losing F1 after 26 it's understandable Barcelona tried to salvage the MotoGP date but it's my least favorite Spanish track.

That is a positive way to look at it.
Yep I've never managed to queue to use a dirty public toilet, tread through the mud to get there, eat shi te luke warm take away food after paying an expensive price, sit on a crappy plastic chair, or brave the wind and rain in my lounge room either. 😁😇
 
It makes sense for world championships to be based in Europe because it's centrally located to the G20 economies. MotoGP is limiting European rounds because they need to branch out to achieve better sanctioning fees, but MotoGP shouldn't need to go anywhere or leave anywhere to earn money. If Europe isn't delivering the goods its because there isn't enough competition in Europe for events.

They need to focus on competition for their product at existing circuits, rather than imagining they can fly away to new purpose built venues. That's barely worked for F1, and it's much bigger and more powerful.
 
Motorsports have a historically twin developments with the US being a North America based championship, and the European being the World championship.

Both MotoGP and F1 even Rally have European roots, while the unique US series of Indy, NASCAR, flat track, never really establishing themselves abroad.
