The 2023 SHARK Grand Prix de France will have a special place in MotoGP™ history, with classic Le Mans set to host the 1000th Grand Prix! Le Mans has hosted 35 Grands Prix and was first used in 1969 before MotoGP™ returned to the track full time from 2000. After the French GP was also voted Best Grand Prix of 2022, the stage is set for a glorious return to Le Mans next season as MotoGP™ prepares to keep making history with the 1000th Grand Prix. The very first Grand Prix took place in June 1949, the first of six events in the sport’s inaugural season.
