Overview
- Liberty Media CEO Derek Chang, speaking Thursday on an investor call, said MotoGP is in discussions with Miami organiser South Florida Motorsports about a possible race.
- He called Miami a logical candidate because a temporary Formula 1 circuit already exists at Hard Rock Stadium, though no agreement has been reached.
- Chang said any second U.S. round would be a long-term project and must make commercial sense after weak attendance reported at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas.
- He flagged stricter motorcycle safety needs as a hurdle, and reporting notes Miami’s close concrete walls and limited run-off would require major changes.
- The exploration aligns with Liberty’s push to put events near major cities, highlighted by MotoGP’s planned shift to Adelaide’s street-style layout and a return to Buenos Aires, even as traditional venues remain valued.
