The greatest motorcycle racers in the world will continue to race at Indy for the next three years. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Dorna Sports have reached an agreement that will bring MotoGPraces to the Brickyard until 2014.
With the Circuit of the Americas being built in Texas and Indy's contract running out at the end of 2011, there was a lot of speculation that the MotoGP wouldn't return in 2012. Indy repaved the circuit in order to entice Dorna to renew the contract, but after many of the MotoGP riders criticized the pave job, it looked certain that the premier class would find a new venue in 2012.
But those rumors were put to rest this weekend when Dorna announced that they renewed their contract with Indy.
"We're happy to welcome back the exciting action and colorful, daring riders of MotoGP," said
Indianapolis Motor Speedway president Jeff Belskus. "This race meeting brings a unique international flavour and style of racing to the Speedway that has become a solid, new tradition on our annual schedule. We're excited about it's potential for continued growth into the future."
The new contract guarantees that there will be two MotoGP races in the United States in 2012 (Laguna Seca and Indianapolis), and possibly three in 2013 when the new circuit in Texas opens for business.
The new 1000cc MotoGP class will race at Indy in 2012, along with theMoto2 series and the new Moto3 series.
