Future secured: MotoGP remains at the Sachsenring for the long term

• Sachsenring to host the LIQUI MOLY Motorcycle Grand Prix for a further five years
• The event will take place behind closed doors in 2021, due to the pandemic
• Tickets already purchased remain valid for 2022

Munich. The Sachsenring remains the home of the LIQUI MOLY Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany. The ADAC and MotoGP™ rights holder Dorna Sports will continue their successful partnership until at least 2026, establishing a long-term basis for the continued existence of one of the largest individual sporting events in Germany. The motorcycle spectacle at the iconic circuit near Hohenstein-Ernstthal has been one of the highlights of the sporting year in Germany since 1998. Each year, roughly 200,000 fans flock to the Sachsenring to watch the world’s best motorcycle riders.

“I am delighted that the ADAC, together with Dorna Sports and the support of the Free State of Saxony, will continue to stage the Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany at the Sachsenring for the next five years. In these difficult times, it was important for us to lay the foundations for this in good time, and to give the Sachsenring – a Mecca for motorcycles – a long-term prospect. MotoGP at the Sachsenring has been a highlight of the season for motorcycle fans for a long time, and is an established major event on the sporting calendar in Germany,” says ADAC Sport President Hermann Tomczyk, looking ahead to the secure future of the LIQUI MOLY Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports: “We are very proud to announce the Sachsenring will remain part of the MotoGP calendar for a further five years. The German Grand Prix is a huge event for motorsport in the area, region and country, and Germany has a long and rich history within motorcycle racing. It’s a vital stop on our calendar and we’re delighted to secure the future of the event, returning to the unique Sachsenring until at least 2026.”

Michael Kretschmer. Minister President of Saxony: “This is wonderful news for everyone who loves motorsport, for Saxony, and for the entire region. The Motorcycle Grand Prix and the Sachsenring – that is a long success story. It is great that this story now has many more exciting chapters to come. I am delighted that the iconic Sachsenring remains the venue for a top-quality, globally respected motorsport event – both a major attraction and an important factor for the economy.”

Despite the positive outlook for the coming years, there remains a bitter pill for this year. When the world’s best riders line up at the Sachsenring from 18th to 20th June 2021, they will do so behind closed doors, due to the situation with the pandemic. Tickets already purchased will remain valid for 2022. As such, ticket holders are assured of their desired seats for 2022 and also benefit from cheaper advance-booking rates. Alternatively, tickets already purchased may also be returned. Remaining tickets for the 2022 LIQUI MOLY Motorcycle Grand Prix are available now.
