Madrid
Previously, joint race weekends had already been considered. According to the Italian medium Corriere della Sera, Liberty Media is now also playing with this idea. The medium reports that the Americans are already thinking about how they can better market MotoGP. Formula 1 can also play a role in this. The two classes already share five circuits: Qatar, Barcelona, Red Bull Racing, Silverstone and Austin. The new circuit in Madrid could also host a motorcycle race.
SuperGP
According to Corriere della Sera, Liberty Media is seriously considering a joint race weekend for MotoGP and Formula 1.
