In 2025, MotoGP has broken its own attendance records for the second year in a row. While in 2024 more than three million people – 3,033,250 to be exact – showed up at the circuit gates, there were 500,000 more this year. Thus, the campaign that has just ended recorded a total of 3,660,716 entries across twenty-two events.
In addition to this overall success, numerous events broke their personal attendance records. Races in Argentina, France, and Germany, as well as the Czech, San Marino, and Indonesian Grands Prix, and the Malaysian and Portuguese rounds, all saw record numbers of spectators on site. A total of eight records were broken.
The French Grand Prix alone drew over 300,000 people over the weekend, the first MotoGP event to achieve this feat. Johann Zarco's victory at the Bugatti circuit naturally set a new attendance record for a single race in the sport, a clear indicator of its growing popularity. The arrival of Liberty Media should further boost this momentum.
