The British MotoGP at Silverstone will move from August to May for the 2025 sea🧜son.

Next year’s event will be held on May 23-25, the earliest tha🧜t Silverstone has hoste👍d the British round since it moved to the Northamptonshire circuit from Donington Park in 2010.

Initially held in June, the race has been booked for Au💦gust or early September since 2013.

The date change means the MotoGP - which has struggled for crowd numbers in recent years - will become the♔ first of Silverstone's💖 three ‘major’ events each year, with the Formula 1 Grand Prix in July and Silverstone Festival in late summer.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports said: “We’re really happy to be꧋ able to confirm when ♏we’ll be returning to Silverstone next season. It’s a fabulous venue and the racing here is always fantastic. 

"As part of what will be a new-look 2025 calendar for us in some ways, we’re excited to celebrate the British GP at a different time of year outside the holiday period giving even more British fans the opportunity to come to Silverstone.

“As everyone knows, MotoGP is enjoying a strong trend of positive growth for audiences and crowds around the world. We want to ensure this event, in a key market, gets the platform and exposure to enable it to play an even bigger role in that.”

Stuart Pringle, Chief Executive Officer, Silverstone added: “Our fans won’t have to wait so long for thei🐽r next British GP fix and we’re already working on putting togeﷺther another great weekend of MotoGP action, live music, jaw-dropping stunt shows and much more. 

"With these three ev🐽ents we have summer sorted for two- 🐬and four-wheel fans.”
