The Cathedral of Speed is to remain on both MotoGP and WorldSBK championship calendars through the 2031 season. The iconic Dutch track today announced an extension of their contract which will see the Dutch TT round of MotoGP, and the Dutch round of WorldSBK at the circuit for the foreseeable future.
The contract extension is not really a surprise. Assen is the longest-running circuit on the MotoGP calendar, and before that, on international racing calendar, with a history that stretches all the way back to 1925. The race only stopped running during the Second World War, and for the Covid-19 hit 2020 MotoGP season. The track is a firm favorite with riders, and attracts massive crowds for both the MotoGP and WorldSBK events, with over 105,000 fans at the Dutch TT last year.
