Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recently unveiled the first ticket for the first race of the world’s fastest motorbike race, ‘MotoGP’ 2023, to be hosted by India for the first time.
The Chief Minister said that MotoGP is the world’s biggest, fastest, and oldest bike racing competition. It is a matter of pride and joy that for the first time, India will be hosting ‘MotoGP’ from September 22 to September 24, 2023, at Buddha International Circuit, Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh. This will undoubtedly be a significant and prestigious event for the new Uttar Pradesh of the new India as well as for the entire nation.

The Chief Minister said that the successful conduct of ‘MotoGP Bharat’ racing competition would firmly establish ‘Brand Uttar Pradesh’ at the global level. Also, this year, for the first time outside Europe, ‘Moto E-Race’ will also be organized in Uttar Pradesh. This competition will add a new chapter to the success story of the state.
The Chief Minister also said that due to the non-cooperation and apathy of the previous governments, the ‘Formula One Race’, which was brought to Uttar Pradesh, was discontinued only after one event. This is the reason Mr. Carmelo, the race’s organizer, was hesitant to hold the event in Uttar Pradesh in 2023 when we first met last year. I assured him of the full cooperation and security of the government regarding the organization of this race in Uttar Pradesh. The Chief Minister reassured the entire MotoGP team about security and convenience during the unveiling of the tickets. He said that the stay of the race organizers and participants in Uttar Pradesh would be very pleasant.
Expressing happiness, the Chief Minister said that out of the total member countries of MotoGP, 12 countries are members of G-20. It also includes America, Australia, France, and Japan. Presently, India is chairing the G-20 and at the same time, the G-20 heads of state will be present in New Delhi when this competition is held.
Congratulating the organisers, the Chief Minister said that the use of 30% ethanol in the bike used in the competition is commendable. It is helpful in reducing the carbon footprint. The Chief Minister said that Uttar Pradesh is the largest ethanol-producing state in the country. From this point of view, organizing this grand event is important.
Expressing happiness over the addition of 276 brands to MotoGP Bharat Racing, the Chief Minister said that by organizing this race on such a large scale, there is a possibility of economic activity of about Rs One thousand crores in Uttar Pradesh, as well as employment opportunities for five thousand people.
On this special occasion, the “MotoGP Bharat 2023” organizers gave the Chief Minister a helmet as a gift on behalf of the internationally renowned Spanish rider Enea Bastianini. The Chief Minister then sent a helmet to Rider Bastianini with his signature.
