€8m deal overrides previous contract to secure a MotoGP circuit’s future
A g൲ood idea for MotoGP to abandon the idea of rotating some circuits?

Aragon will feature for at least three years in a row on the MotoGP calendar after a new deal was struck.
An💙 €8m agreement was struck to guarantee a MotoGP round🐬 at Aragon in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
Previously, the circuit was only due to🅺 host a race three times over five years as part of a rotation of Spanish locations.
Work began on April 1 to resurfac♌e the track at Motorland, one of the keys🏅 to the new deal.
The FIM demanded the kerbs to be replaced atඣ Turns 7, 10, 15 and 17.
The wor🥀k, due to be completed by June, will cost the local authorities an extra €6.2m.
But research conducted by the&nb🦂sp;Aragon Institute of Development suggests that the economic impact of hosting a MotoGP round is worth €47m to the local area.
The 2024🐭 round at Aragon i𓃲s set for August 30-September 1.
Aragon is an autonomous region of north-east Spain, between the city of Valencia and the n🗹eighbouring country of Andorra.
Nobody has won🦩 m🌼ore MotoGP grands prix at Aragon that Marc Marquez.
The six-time victor won in 2013, ꦍ201💮6, 2017, 2018, 2019.
The circuit didn't host a race last year. In 2022, it𓄧 was won by Gresini's Enea B🙈astianini during his breakthrough campaign.
And the year prior, Francesco Bagnaia was♛ victorious for Ducati.
