2023 MotoGP British Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more
The 2023 MotoGP season is set to resume after a month-long summer break with the British Grand Prix. This year, the event will take place at Silverstone, using the same layout and paddock as Formula 1, with Copse now serving as the opening turn.
MotoGP has made some changes to its weekend format for the second half of the season and beyond. Notably, only the second practice session will determine which riders progress directly into Q2. As part of this overhaul, the second practice session will now be known as “Practice,” and the third practice will be renamed to “FP2.”
