This delay results from the decision of MotoGP organisers to use their option to race on Silverstone on 29 and 30 August, instead of going to Donington Park as it was planned on the draft calendar.

Silverstone and Renault Sport Technologies will do their utmost to make this event a success both for the fans and for the competitors.

Patrice Ratti, Renault Sport Technologies Managing Director: ‘‘Through our close relationship with Silverstone, we have been able to quickly find a fully satisfactory solution. This will allow the passionate fans to come in droves on 5 and 6 September to attend this comeback in Great Britain which gathered an average of more than 100.000 people on the last editions.’’
