MotoGP World Championship 2018 Austrian Grand Prix Tracker

By Phil Bainbridge

August 10, 2018 - August 12, 2018 - Eleventh round of the 2018 MotoGP season at the Red Bull Ring, Speilberg, Austria.

The 70th Road Racing Championship is organized by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (F.I.M), which is based in Switzerland and has 112 affiliated National Motorcycle Federations (FMN) over six continents.

The live results are shown for each of the sessions, plus a start list and animation of the circuit with key data.

Grand Prix motorcycles are purpose-built prototypes that are not available for purchase and can not be driven legally on public roads. They are estimated to be worth about 2 million US dollars each as they can not easily be replaced.

The 2018 Championship includes motorcycles from 6 constructors (Aprilla, Ducati, Honda, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha) in 12 Teams (Ducati with 4, Honda with 3, Yamaha with 2 and the others with 1 each).

The highest recorded speed for a MotoGP motorcycle is 361 km/h (224 mph), set by Andrea Dovizioso, during the warmup at the 2016 Qatar Grand Prix
