Thailand secures MotoGP until 2031 – mega event for the future!
The motorsport world will soon sit up and take notice again in Bangkok! The Sports Authority of Thailand (GAT) has successfully concluded negotiations to extend the MotoGP contract with Dorna Sports. This agreement is intended to enshrine Thailand as host of the popular race until 2031. The proposal for renegotiation will be submitted to the Cabinet for approval today, November 4, 2025, as Thaipr.net reported.
With the planned extension of the contract until 2031, Thailand underlines its commitment as a first-class location for motorsport. Dr. Kongsak Yodmani, head of the GAT, highlights the economic benefits generated by the ThaiGP - which are said to amount to around 24 billion baht (around 610 million euros). Despite the slight increase in license fees, he still sees the costs as reasonable in international comparison. The involvement of private companies in the organization of the event promises additional synergies and greater benefits for the country.
The ThaiGP as a mega event
Since its premiere in 2018, MotoGP in Thailand has established itself as a real highlight. The ThaiGP not only attracts motorsport fans but also international visitors, thereby reinforcing the positive perception of Thailand abroad. The event has proven to be a significant driver of tourism, infrastructure and the local economy, as well as the Thailand Sun reported.
The next major MotoGP event will take place in Buriram, where the race will take place from February 27th to March 1st, 2026. The “PT Grand Prix of Thailand 2026” will take place on March 1, 2026, and ticket sales will start on November 11, 2025. From this date, fans can secure their seats online and also in selected 7-Eleven stores.
A look at the race track
For the motorsport enthusiasts, the Chang International Circuit in Buriram is a complete delight. With a total length of 4.554 km, 12 challenging corners and an impressive 1 km long straight, the track not only offers exciting moments, but also an almost perfect view for spectators from almost all the stands. These aspects have led international observers to praise the safety standards and organization of the race.
The 2026 MotoGP season could be particularly exciting after Repsol has established itself as a new partner for the event from 2026. With legendary drivers following in the footsteps of their predecessors and a host of exciting developments in the team structure, it remains to be seen what surprises are in store. #MotoGP in Thailand – this mega event clearly has a permanent place in the international motorsport calendar.
The enthusiasm continues to grow and the fans look forward to all the upcoming races, which are of enormous importance not only for the drivers but also for the entire region.
