116,000 people attended the MotorLand MotoGP event in 2010, the first such event at the track. The Sunday race day was witnessed by over 70,000 spectators, which went some way to the circuit, having originally been a reserve track for the season, winning the IRTA ‘Best Grand Prix’ Award – in only its first season.
This deal ensures that MotoGP events are set to take place at MotorLand until at least 2016.
