I am sure those exhausted global MotoGP™ travellers spending their first proper weekend at home for many a month would not agree now, but it will not be long before they start getting itchy feet. Next season is a prime example with two new countries staging MotoGP™ races for the very first time. In July the central Asian Sokol International circuit in Kazakhstan stages its first Grand Prix. Over two months later the Buddh circuit becomes the 75th circuit to stage a Grand Prix when India becomes the 31st country to stage a World Championship race. India has seen its first ever Grand Prix added to the 2023 MotoGP™ calendar, and you can see what’s in store with a lap of the track!. Early in 1987, I travelled to Japan for the first time for the opening round of the World Championship at Suzuka.
