Suzuki Extends Agreement With Dorna to Compete in MotoGP
Press Release | April 20, 2021
Suzuki Motor Corporation renews with Dorna to 2026
The following is a press release from Suzuki…
(April 20, 2021) – Suzuki Motor Corporation is pleased to announce that an agreement has been signed with series promoter Dorna to renew their involvement in the MotoGP™ World Championship for the period ranging from the 2022 season to the 2026 season.
As a consequence of this, Suzuki Motor Corporation will deploy its Factory Team—actually known as Team Suzuki Ecstar—in the MotoGP™ World Championship’s MotoGP™ class.
Suzuki’s racing story began in 1960 with an entry into the Isle of Man’s legendary Tourist Trophy, and last year the brand from Hamamatsu in Japan celebrated their 100th Anniversary, alongside the milestone of 60 years in racing. The news that Suzuki’s factory journey will continue is extremely positive, especially following a highly successful period which culminated in brilliant results last year; Suzuki’s Spanish pairing of Joan Mir and Alex Rins took 1st and 3rd in the championship standings, meaning the excellent achievement of winning both the MotoGP™ Riders’ and Teams’ titles.
