MotoGP fans can look forward to the India round of the championship scheduled between September 20-22, 2024, at the Buddh International Circuit. This event follows the success of the inaugural Grand Prix of Bharat, which contributed to the sport’s growing popularity in the country.
Arjun Nowhar, General Manager at Warner Bros. Discovery, emphasized the return of MotoGP to Indian fans, highlighting the brand’s commitment to providing seamless viewing experiences for sports enthusiasts. The partnership with Eurosport aims to enhance the sports broadcasting infrastructure and culture in India to inspire young athletes and motorsport enthusiasts.
