BREAKING: 2024 MotoGP Argentina Grand Prix Canceled
IRTA, FIM and Dorna Sports have announced the cancellation of the MotoGP Argentina Grand Prix following the inability of the promoters to guarantee services after the new government’s increased crackdown on costs.

The Argentinian Grand Prix was due to take place as the third event on the official MotoGP calendar on 5-7 April 2024. MotoGP posted this on their official website:
“The FIM, IRTA, and Dorna Sports confirm the cancellation of the 2024 Argentina GP.”
“Due to the current circumstances in Argentina, the Promoter of the event has communicated that it is currently unable to guarantee the services required for the Grand Prix to take place in 2024 at MotoGP™ standards.”
“This event will not be replaced on the 2024 calendar. MotoGP™ hopes to return to race at Termas de Rio Hondo in 2025.”
Many in the sport’s circle believe that the government’s latest policies towards cost control have been the reason behind the cancellation of the event with the promoters unable to provide necessary arrangements for the event to take place.
The Argentinian Grand Prix is one of the only two races in the calendar that takes place in the Americas, but with the cancellation of the event it leaves behind the Circuit Of The Americas, as the only grand prix in the Americas.
With the cancellation of the Argentinian round, we are left with the possibility of a Hungarian Grand Prix held at the Balaton Park. The Hungarian Grand Prix is the official reserve track for 2024 but it is yet to be homologated to MotoGP standards.
