SUMMARY:World Ducati Week – 2026
DESCRIPTION:100 Years of Ducati – The Century Celebration at Misano\nFrom July 3 to 5\, 2026\, the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli” on Italy’s Adriatic coast transforms into the epicenter of the Ducati universe. World Ducati Week 2026 is far more than a gathering: it marks the hundredth birthday of the motorcycle manufacturer from Borgo Panigale. On July 4\, 1926\, a company was founded in Bologna that has come to embody Italian motorcycle passion\, racing DNA\, and uncompromising engineering like no other. A full century later\, the global Ducati community celebrates this milestone together on the racetrack – with tens of thousands of like-minded enthusiasts from around the world. \nProgram and Highlights\nThe three-day festival brings together technology\, motorsport\, and community in a unique way. Visitors can look forward to new product presentations\, conversations with Ducati engineers and designers\, and encounters with racing legends past and present. On track\, participants can ride their own motorcycles\, test ride current Ducati models\, or book Riding Experience sessions. \nA particular highlight is the legendary Race of Champions\, which takes on a new format for 2026: free practice and qualifying on Saturday\, warm-up and race on Sunday – featuring factory riders from MotoGP and World Superbike on the grid. The traditional Ducati Parade\, in which an endless snake of red motorcycles weaves around the circuit\, remains one of the most emotional moments of the weekend. \nBeyond the track\, live shows\, exhibitions chronicling a hundred years of company history\, and community areas provide entertainment throughout. WDW ticket holders also receive discounted admission to the Ducati factory and the Ducati Museum in Borgo Panigale. \nMisano – Racetrack and Holiday Destination\nThe Misano World Circuit is located just a few kilometers from the Adriatic coast in the province of Rimini. The 4.226 km circuit is a fixture on both the MotoGP and World Superbike calendars\, and its mix of fast sweepers and technical sections provides the perfect setting for the event. The adjacent Riviera di Rimini\, with its beach resorts\, restaurants\, and nightlife\, turns a WDW visit into a short vacation on the Italian coast. \nAdmission and Tickets\nTickets are available through the official Ducati ticket shop. Two ticket types are offered: the Biker Pass (participants with their own motorcycle) and the Visitor Pass (visitors without a motorcycle)\, each available as single-day or three-day tickets. \n\nDay ticket: from €80 (Biker) / from €70 (Visitor)\n3-Day ticket: from €125 (Biker) / from €95 (Visitor)\nChildren and teenagers under 18: symbolic admission of €1 when accompanied by an adult\n\nReduced rates are available for D.O.C. members and Ducati Desmo Owners Club participants. \nOpening Hours and Getting There\nThe event spans three full days from Friday to Sunday. The Misano World Circuit is accessible via the A14 motorway (exit Rimini Sud/Riccione). The nearest train station is in Riccione\, and the closest airport is Federico Fellini Airport in Rimini (RMI). During WDW\, shuttle buses typically operate from surrounding coastal towns to the circuit.

SUMMARY:Suzuka 8 Hours – EWC Round 3 – 2026
DESCRIPTION:Suzuka 8 Hours 2026 – Japan’s Legendary Endurance Race\nFrom July 3 to 5\, 2026\, the Suzuka Circuit in Japan’s Mie Prefecture hosts the 47th edition of the Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours – the third round of the 2026 FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC). The Suzuka 8 Hours is widely regarded as Asia’s most prestigious motorcycle endurance race\, attracting hundreds of thousands of spectators to the circuit each year. \nThe Circuit\nOpened by Honda in 1962\, Suzuka Circuit is unique in world motorsport: the 5.821-kilometre track follows a figure-8 layout\, crossing over itself via an overpass – a configuration found at no other Grand Prix circuit on the planet. With 18 corners\, including the famous S-Curves (Esses)\, the demanding Degner Curve\, the high-speed 130R and the technical Spoon Curve\, Suzuka demands the utmost from both rider and machine. During an 8-hour race in the heat and humidity of a Japanese summer\, the circuit becomes the ultimate proving ground. \nHistory and Significance\nSince its inaugural running in 1978\, the Suzuka 8 Hours has grown into the crown jewel of Asian motorcycle racing. During the 1980s and 1990s\, the event was a global superbike spectacle with grids regularly exceeding 200 teams. Legends such as Wayne Gardner\, Mick Doohan\, Colin Edwards and Michael Rutter have all written history here. Honda HRC dominates the all-time winners’ list and is aiming for yet another victory in 2026. \n2026 EWC Season\nThe 2026 FIM Endurance World Championship comprises four rounds: the 24 Heures Motos at Le Mans (April)\, the 8h Spa Motos at Spa-Francorchamps (June)\, the Suzuka 8 Hours in Japan (July) and the Bol d’Or at Le Castellet (September). Factory teams from Yamaha\, Honda\, BMW\, Suzuki\, Kawasaki and Ducati field three-rider crews on current-specification superbikes in the fight for the world title. After the season opener at Le Mans and the second round at Spa\, Suzuka represents the decisive showdown before the season finale. \nFormat and Schedule\nThe race weekend spans three days: \n\nFriday\, July 3: Administrative and technical checks\, free practice sessions\nSaturday\, July 4: Qualifying sessions\, Top 10 Trial (pole position shootout)\nSunday\, July 5: Warm-up\, 8-hour race start at 11:30 AM (JST)\, finish around 7:30 PM\n\nThe Top 10 Trial on Saturday is a highlight in its own right: the ten fastest teams from qualifying compete in an individual time-attack session for pole position – a format unique to the Endurance World Championship. \nGetting There\nSuzuka Circuit is located in the city of Suzuka\, Mie Prefecture\, approximately 60 kilometres southwest of Nagoya. The nearest international airport is Chubu Centrair (NGO) in Nagoya\, from where the circuit can be reached in approximately 90 minutes by train or car. Alternative airports include Kansai (KIX) in Osaka (approx. 2.5 hours) and Osaka Itami (ITM). The Shinkansen connects Tokyo to Nagoya in under 2 hours\, with regional trains and buses running from there to Suzuka. \nEvent Details\nEvent: 2026 FIM World Endurance Championship “Coca-Cola” Suzuka 8 Hours – 47th Race\nDate: July 3–5\, 2026\nCircuit: Suzuka Circuit\, Suzuka\, Mie\, Japan\nTrack length: 5.821 km\nCorners: 18\nRace duration: 8 hours\nStart: Sunday\, July 5\, 2026\, 11:30 AM (JST)\nTimezone: Asia/Tokyo (JST\, UTC+9)\nWebsite: suzukacircuit.jp · fimewc.com

SUMMARY:Goodwood Festival of Speed – 2026
DESCRIPTION:Festival of Speed 2026 at the Goodwood Estate\nFrom 9 to 12 July 2026\, the Richmond family’s estate in West Sussex once again becomes the largest playground in the motorsport world. Along the famous 1.16 mile (1.86 km) Hillclimb in front of Goodwood House\, Formula 1 cars\, MotoGP bikes\, rally legends\, Le Mans prototypes\, dragsters and classic motorcycles take their runs one after another — a mix that exists nowhere else on the planet. \nThe festival was founded in 1993 by Charles Gordon-Lennox\, today the Duke of Richmond. What started as a small event for historic vehicles has grown into the world’s biggest motorsport garden party. According to the organiser\, more than 600 cars and motorcycles covering the full history of motorised competition take part over the four days. \nFestival of Speed 2026 – 9 to 12 July at the Goodwood Estate (Photo: Goodwood/Darren Heath)\nThe 2026 theme: “The Rivals – Epic Racing Duels”\nGoodwood puts the greatest rivalries in motorsport history centre stage. Under the banner “The Rivals – Epic Racing Duels”\, legendary duels from all disciplines are set to come back to life — from Formula 1\, MotoGP and the World Superbike Championship to the WRC\, FIA World Endurance Championship\, NASCAR\, IndyCar and Formula E. Champions and challengers from several decades will be assembled around the Goodwood Estate. \nFor motorcycle fans this usually means that legendary Grand Prix and Superbike machines are brought back on track by their former riders\, complemented by current MotoGP and WSBK bikes from the works teams. The full line-up is traditionally announced shortly before the event. \nThe Hillclimb and the wider festival site\nThe heart of the festival is the Hillclimb: a narrow\, 1.86-kilometre course across the estate\, lined with straw bales and a densely packed crowd. Competitors run individually against the clock rather than in classic races. Around this central feature\, a network of supporting attractions covers the whole site: \n\nHillclimb Paddock – open pit lane with close access to riders\, drivers and machinery\nSupercar Paddock – current production models and new launches\nForest Rally Stage – a special stage through Goodwood Forest featuring WRC and rally classics\nCartier Style et Luxe – concours d’elegance with rare cars and motorcycles\nGoodwood Action Sports – BMX\, FMX and stunt shows aimed at a younger audience\n\nTickets and prices\nFriday\, Saturday and Sunday day tickets as well as four-day passes for the 2026 Festival of Speed are now sold out. Currently only Thursday tickets remain available via the official Goodwood website. Under-12s go free at all Goodwood events\, and discounted rates are available for visitors aged 13 to 21. Members of the Goodwood Road Racing Club (GRRC) additionally receive ten per cent off tickets and grandstand passes as well as priority access to hospitality packages. \nGrandstand tickets provide access to twelve fixed stands along the Hillclimb. The Roving Grandstand Pass allows holders to switch between all twelve public grandstands throughout the day. In addition\, the official Festival of Speed campsites traditionally open from midday Wednesday until midday Monday. \nSchedule and programme\nThursday (9 July) is traditionally the “Moving Motor Show” day\, with demonstration runs by current production cars and prototypes. From Friday to Sunday\, the classic festival programme takes over with Hillclimb runs\, the Sunday shoot-out\, parade laps and support shows. According to the organiser\, the detailed schedule will be released “closer to the event” and will be added here once published. \nTravel and location\nThe Goodwood Estate lies in West Sussex\, around an hour’s drive south of London and some six kilometres north of Chichester. Access is mainly via the A286 or A285. During the festival\, Goodwood runs shuttle buses from Chichester railway station and operates designated parking areas on site. Visitors from mainland Europe can use the Eurotunnel to Folkestone (approximately two hours’ drive away) or the ferry into Portsmouth (half an hour west of Goodwood). \nEvent key facts\nEvent: Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026\nTheme: The Rivals – Epic Racing Duels\nDates: 9 to 12 July 2026\nLocation: Goodwood Estate\, Chichester\, West Sussex\, United Kingdom\nHillclimb length: 1.16 miles / 1.86 km\nTimezone: Europe/London (BST\, UTC+1)\nWebsite: goodwood.com \nNote: The detailed schedule and official line-up for 2026 will only be published by Goodwood in the weeks leading up to the event.

SUMMARY:MotoGP – German Grand Prix – 2026
DESCRIPTION:MotoGP German Grand Prix 2026 at Sachsenring\nFrom July 10 to 12\, 2026\, the MotoGP World Championship returns to the Sachsenring near Hohenstein-Ernstthal in Saxony\, Germany. The LIQUI MOLY Grand Prix of Germany is traditionally one of the season’s highlights\, attracting over 200\,000 spectators to the 3.671 km circuit nestled in the Ore Mountain foothills. \nCircuit and Statistics\nWith 13 corners – ten left-handers and just three right-handers – the Sachsenring is one of the most demanding tracks on the calendar. Its most distinctive feature is “The Waterfall\,” a spectacular plunging downhill right-hander that demands absolute concentration. The longest straight measures 700 meters\, and the track width is 12 meters throughout. Racing has taken place in the Chemnitz region since the 1920s; the modern circuit was built in 1996 and underwent a major renovation in 2001. The Sachsenring has been a permanent fixture on the MotoGP calendar since 1998. \nSachsenring as a Travel Destination\nThe Sachsenring is located approximately 8 kilometers west of Chemnitz and is easily accessible via the A4 and A72 motorways. The surrounding Ore Mountains provide an attractive backdrop for an extended motorsport weekend. Hohenstein-Ernstthal\, birthplace of author Karl May\, and the cultural capital Chemnitz offer a wide range of accommodation and leisure options. \n\nPreliminary Schedule (Local Time CEST)\nThe detailed timetable is usually published by MotoGP a few weeks before the race weekend. The following times are based on the established format from previous years and will be updated once the official schedule is released. \nFriday\, July 10\n\n09:00–09:35 – Moto3™ Free Practice 1\n09:50–10:30 – Moto2™ Free Practice 1\n10:45–11:30 – MotoGP™ Free Practice 1\n13:15–13:50 – Moto3™ Practice\n14:05–14:45 – Moto2™ Practice\n15:00–16:00 – MotoGP™ Practice\n\nSaturday\, July 11\n\n09:00–09:35 – Moto3™ Free Practice 2\n09:50–10:30 – Moto2™ Free Practice 2\n10:45–11:30 – MotoGP™ Free Practice 2\n12:50–13:30 – Moto3™ Qualifying (Q1 + Q2)\n13:45–14:25 – Moto2™ Qualifying (Q1 + Q2)\n14:50–15:15 – MotoGP™ Qualifying (Q1 + Q2)\n15:30 – MotoGP™ Tissot Sprint (15 laps)\n\nSunday\, July 12\n\n09:40–09:50 – MotoGP™ Warm-up\n11:00 – Moto3™ Race (23 laps)\n12:15 – Moto2™ Race (25 laps)\n14:00 – MotoGP™ Grand Prix (30 laps)\n\n\nKey Facts\nEvent: LIQUI MOLY Grand Prix of Germany 2026\nDate: July 10–12\, 2026\nCircuit: Sachsenring\, Hohenstein-Ernstthal\, Germany\nTrack Length: 3.671 km (2.28 miles)\nCorners: 13 (10 left\, 3 right)\nMotoGP Laps: 30 (110.13 km / 68.43 miles)\nTimezone: CEST (UTC+2)\nWebsite: sachsenring-circuit.com

SUMMARY:WorldSBK – Great Britain – Donington Park – 2026
DESCRIPTION:World Superbike heads to Donington before the summer break\nFrom 10 to 12 July 2026\, Donington Park hosts Round 8 of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship. The historic East Midlands circuit is the championship’s final stop before the mid-season summer break\, with the next round following in early September at Magny-Cours. \nDonington Park holds a unique place in the WorldSBK history books: it staged the very first round of the Superbike World Championship back in 1988 and has remained a near-permanent fixture ever since. For 2026\, the British round marks roughly the midpoint of the title campaign – a crucial weekend with bragging rights and championship momentum on the line before the summer shutdown. \nThe circuit\nThe 4.023-kilometre National layout of Donington Park winds through 12 corners with a distinctive elevation change. The mix of flowing curves\, tight hairpins and the legendary Craner Curves demands a fine balance between grip\, commitment and rhythm. The downhill sweep from Hollywood through Craner Curves into the Old Hairpin is among the most iconic sequences in motorcycle racing: the bikes accelerate close to 270 km/h before braking hard for the tight left. \nHigh corner speeds\, changeable British summer weather and tricky wind exposure make Donington one of the most demanding rounds of the season – both technically and strategically. Tyre wear and setup decisions often decide the outcome here. \nWeekend racing programme\nThe Donington round features three WorldSBK races plus the full WSBK support package. In addition to the two main WorldSBK races on Saturday and Sunday\, the traditional ten-lap Tissot Superpole Race on Sunday morning helps shape the grid for the feature race. \n\nWorldSBK – 3 races (Race 1 on Saturday\, Superpole Race and Race 2 on Sunday)\nWorldSSP – 2 Supersport World Championship races\nWorldWCR – 2 races of the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship\nYamaha R3 BLU CRU World Cup – young talent support cup\n\nWhat is at stake in 2026\nBritish fans will witness a particularly strong grid in 2026. Miguel Oliveira and Somkiat Chantra have both made the switch from MotoGP to the Superbike class\, while home heroes such as Alex and Sam Lowes plus former Moto2 rider Jake Dixon are in action in front of their home crowd. WorldSBK regulars including Danilo Petrucci and Andrea Locatelli round out the field. \nDucati\, BMW\, Yamaha and Kawasaki all see Donington as a key benchmark: the flowing\, aero-demanding layout ruthlessly exposes the strengths and weaknesses of every superbike package on the grid. \nProvisional schedule (local time\, BST)\nThe detailed timetable is released by the WSBK Commission a few weeks before the event. The outline below follows the standard format used at European WorldSBK rounds and should be treated as an indicative guide only. \nFriday\, 10 July\n\nWorldWCR and Yamaha R3 BLU CRU – free practice (morning)\nWorldSBK Free Practice 1 – morning\nWorldSSP Free Practice – morning\nYamaha R3 BLU CRU Superpole – midday\nWorldWCR Tissot Superpole – afternoon\nWorldSBK Free Practice 2 – afternoon\nWorldSSP Tissot Superpole – late afternoon\n\nSaturday\, 11 July\n\nWorldSBK Free Practice 3 and warm-ups\nWorldSBK Tissot Superpole – morning\nWorldWCR Race 1\nWorldSSP Race 1\nWorldSBK Race 1 – afternoon\n\nSunday\, 12 July\n\nWarm-up sessions for all classes\nWorldSBK Tissot Superpole Race – morning\nWorldWCR Race 2\nWorldSBK Race 2 – afternoon\nWorldSSP Race 2 – late afternoon\n\n\nEvent facts\nEvent: MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship – Rd. 8\nDate: 10–12 July 2026\nCircuit: Donington Park (GP layout)\, Castle Donington\, Derby\, United Kingdom\nTrack length: 4.023 km (National Circuit)\nCorners: 12\nTime zone: BST (UTC+1)\nWebsite: worldsbk.com · donington-park.co.uk
