Hey friends,

Writing this in between qualifying and the race later on tonight (well, I guess it’s technically tomorrow morning on the east coast here 🤷🏻‍♂️)

The buzz last week was around Liberty Media’s purchase of MotoGP, and it’s big news for both Formula 1 fans and MotoGP lovers alike.

Today’s letter we’ll talk a little bit more about that deal and what it means for the future of both series.

Until next time 🏎️

Liberty Media, the powerhouse behind Formula 1's American resurgence and commercial success announced last week that they acquired an 86% stake in Dorna Sports, the organization behind MotoGP, in a jaw-dropping $4.2 billion deal.

And what’s the first thing on everyone's mind?

The possibility of F1 cars and MotoGP bikes tearing up the same track on the same weekend.

Not at the same time though, that would be madness.
