Race tracks are often multi-functional venues used across different motorsport championships with F1 and MotoGP being no different.
There are five tracks on the 2024 calendars for both series while many more have been used for either championship in the past - so what are those circuits?
Circuits on current F1 and MotoGP calendars.
Circuit of The Americas ended the USA’s five-year absence from the F1 calendar when it became the new host of the United States Grand Prix in 2012. It was only two years after construction of the circuit had begun as COTA became America’s first purpose-built track for FIA and FIM (the F1 and MotoGP governing bodies) events to replace Indianapolis, which hosted USA’s last F1 grand prix in 2007.
Watching this state-of-the-art venue get built, MotoGP wanted in on the action, so a deal was agreed for COTA to make its debut on that calendar in 2013. It was named the Grand Prix of the Americas as at the time USA had two other rounds on the calendar - US GP held at Laguna Seca and the Indianapolis GP at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
