The Motorland circuit in Alcañiz, Teruel, has secured its place on the MotoGP World Championship calendar for 2027. The renewal of the contract between MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group and the Government of Aragon was announced by Aragonese President Jorge Azcón.

This new agreement extends beyond just hosting the Grand Prix, as it designates Motorland as the exclusive reserve circuit for any calendar disruptions between 2028 and 2031. This deeper integration signifies a stronger, long-term partnership for the circuit.

Aragon has meant "a great deal in the world of MotoGP."

— Carmelo EzpeletaCEO of MotoGP, Carmelo Ezpeleta, emphasized the region's significance in the sport.

President Azcón highlighted the event's economic importance, calling the 12 million euro investment "strategic." He noted that hosting the MotoGP Grand Prix brings over 100,000 fans to Alcañiz, ensuring full occupancy for local hotels and restaurants, supporting 500 full-time jobs, and contributing significantly to the circuit's 50 million euro revenue.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP, acknowledged Motorland's established presence since 2010. He explained that with a maximum of 22 Grand Prix races per year for safety reasons, and Spain already hosting four circuits, Alcañiz's event was the only one without a five-year deal. Ezpeleta expressed satisfaction with the renewal, stating that all MotoGP teams are "delighted" with Alcañiz hosting another race in 2027. He also pledged support from Liberty Media, which also owns Formula 1, to bring more events to the region.

Noise (kebisingan) always exists. The important thing is that we are sure of our direction. As long as I am confident that I am working for the nation and the people of Indonesia, I will never hesitate.
