Argentina will not be part of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship, which has led to the official calendar being reduced to 21 grands prix, as reported by Spanish sports newspaper Marca today. Marca noted that the official announcement will be made "soon." The Argentine Grand Prix, which was scheduled for April 5 to 7 at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit (Santiago del Estero), will not be replaced by another venue, which means that 21 races will be run instead of the 22 that They were planned for the season that will begin in Qatar on March 8.
In addition, the date of the Country Email List Superbike World Championship in the province of San Juan was canceled, so the motorcycles derived from that series will not compete on that track this season either, according to the information provided. However, the Kazakhstan Grand Prix continues, as the conditioning of the Sokol circuit, which will be new to the event, is progressing well and is expected to be present from June 14 to 16.
On the other hand, the Motorsport site had warned about the possibility that the Argentine MotoGP Grand Prix would not take place due to the budget cuts being made by the management of president Javier Milei. Since his inauguration, the government is implementing measures to reduce expenses and achieve zero deficit.
It is important to highlight that the realization of this event depends mainly on the contribution of the national State. In the event that this financing is not present, it is extremely difficult to face the expenses generated by the arrival of MotoGP only with the contribution of the provincial government of Santiago del Estero and the private sector.
