Liberty Media Stages First Joint Formula 1 and MotoGP Event at US Grand Prix

Liberty Media is set to host its first-ever joint event bridging Formula 1 and MotoGP—the two premier motorsport championships under its umbrella—during this weekend's United States Grand Prix in Austin.

The event schedule at the Circuit of the Americas includes a premier-class motorcycle showcase on Saturday. Featuring high-speed demo laps around the Texas track, the lineup includes Dani Pedrosa (KTM), Andrea Dovizioso (Yamaha), Lorenzo Savadori (Trackhouse Aprilia), and reigning Superbike champion and future MotoGP rider Nicolo Bulega (Ducati).

In addition to the on-track action, a dedicated space in the COTA Fan Zone will display all four grand prix bikes, allowing spectators to get an up-close look. The crossover initiative is designed to drive MotoGP's growth in the United States, as Liberty Media aims to replicate the phenomenal success it achieved in expanding Formula 1's American footprint.

MotoGP's regular grid will be absent from the Austin showcase, as they are competing in Australia for round 18 of the motorcycle road racing world championship season.
