Visitor records at the Sachsenring: MotoGP future remains exciting!
In the first half of the year, the Sachsenring literally blossomed. This year's motorcycle Grand Prix Germany has reached a new highlight with a record -breaking visit to 256,441 spectators. This impressive result already marks the fourth visitor record in a row and shows that interest in the MotoGP in Germany is unbroken. Dr. Gerd Ennser, ADAC sports president, did not miss the opportunity to thank the fans and helpers for their great commitment. As gratifying as these figures are, the icing on the cake has been missing: The future of the Sachsenring as part of the MotoGP has not yet been secured, since a contract extension with the rights holder Dorna is in the room, such as [diesachsen.de] (https://www.diesachsen.de/sport/sucher-boom-auf-em-dem-das-i-Tuepfel-fahlt- 3035836) reported.
ADAC Motorsport Director Thomas Voss looks back on the negotiations with Dorna. These talks were initiated last year, but remained in the stop due to internal changes to Dorna. "We are confident that we will find an agreement," said Voss. Dr. Gerd Ennser announced that considerations for an extension of the contract are made by 2031 , and the current contract is still running until 2026. This development comes at a suitable time, since in 2027 there is a special edition of the race: The 100th anniversary of the first Badberg Vierecks race.

The event was not only a feast for the fans, but also important for German two-wheeler racing. Lukas Tulovic emphasized the relevance of such events for the youth and the following generation of racing drivers. A hope could be Fynn Kratochwil , who triumphed in the Northern Talent Cup and took third place in the Sachsenring race. Nevertheless, German motorsport remains in the shade of some international competition, as no German pilot was represented in the World Cup Starterfeld for the second time in a row. However, desk man Dirk Heidolf puts hope in Kratochwil, who strives for a step into the premier class.
