The French Grand Prix will continue to be staged at the iconic Le Ma𝔉ns circuit after the venue agreed a new five-year deal with MotoGP through to the end of 2031.

The ﷺlegendary Le Mans circuit first hosted a round of the motorcycle grand prix world championship in 1969, before becoming the permanent home of the French GP in 2000.

One of the most popular stops on the calendar, the French GP since 2023 has smashed attendance records in MotoGP - with 🃏last year’s event welcoming ♛297,471 spectators across the weekend.

Thi✅s is a directꦐ result of promoter Claude Michy’s efforts to make the French GP affordable for fans and inclusive to families.

During Wednesday’s 🌠preview of the 2025 French GP, it was confirmed that Le Mans had penned a new five-year deal beginning in 2027 that will take it to at least the end of 2031.

“The privilege is having met many years ago, Carmelo Ezpeleta, th𓆉e CEO of Dorna, who has always placed his trust in me,” Michey said.

“I have great rܫespect for him and deep gratitude because he has managed to evolve MotoGP and turn it into 💮this incredible show.

“Our promoter contract expires in♋ 2026, and I am delighted, honoured, and proud to announce that it will be ext🅷ended until 2031.”

Carmelo Ezpeleta added: “France already has an incredible legacy in motorsport, and we’re proud that our French Grand Prix has added to that at the same time as attr♎acting a huge new wave of fans to the event, area and to the sport itself.

“We are the biggest sporting event in France and the grandstands reflect our growing and diverse audience, showcasing exactly what we want to see around the ✤world as the sport continues to grow exponentially.

“France is a vital market for us and working with PHA Claude Michy, we could🦹n’t ask for moဣre.”

This new deal will see the French GP race well into MotoGP’s new regulations era, when it switches to 850cc ꦅengines from 2027.

This also✃ comes just days af🔯ter MotoGP confirmed a new five-year deal with the Valencia Grand Prix to continue staging races at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit.
