Aragon track stays on MotoGP calendar

From motogp.com

Dorna Sports, MotorLand Aragón and the Government of Aragón signed a new agreement on Tuesday that will see the Spanish circuit feature as a main venue on the MotoGP calendar until at least 2016.

As part of the agreement MotorLand was confirmed as a permanent circuit on the MotoGP calendar for the next six years, having initially been introduced as a reserve circuit for 2010 in which it eventually hosted the 13th round of the season.

For the first time in the history of the prestigious IRTA ‘Best Grand Prix’ award MotorLand won the prize in its first year in 2010, in recognition for being the best organized event on the calendar.

Last year’s event at MotorLand Aragón, which took place in September, was enjoyed by 116,000 people who attended the circuit across all three days of the Grand Prix, with 70,000 present for race day on the Sunday.
