MotoGP and its purpose

MotoGP is the pinnacle of World Championship Road Racing. It developed primarily in Europe after the FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme) consolidated the regulations for motorcycle competition for the first time in 1949. In the past, the premier class was the 500cc class of the Road Race World Championships, but in 2002 the regulation was changed to create the MotoGP class in which 2-stroke machines of up to 500 cc and 4-stroke machines of up to 990 cc competed together.

The championship, encompassing a total of 20 rounds, kick-started in Portugal back in March and is set to conclude in Spain this November.
