Le Mans surpasses 300,000 spectators at MotoGP French Grand Prix

Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Racing Team maintains a stable budget and strong media impact as it continues its partnership with Ducati for 2026.

The MotoGP French Grand Prix at the Bugatti Circuit, Le Mans attracted more than 300,000 spectators across the race weekend, maintaining its status as one of the most attended events on the MotoGP calendar.

A total of 302,149 fans attended the event between Friday and Sunday, according to organisers. The figure includes attendance for practice sessions, qualifying and race day activities. On Sunday alone, more than 100,000 spectators were present at the circuit.

Despite the strong turnout, this year’s attendance marked a 3.1% decline compared with the previous edition, which recorded 311,797 spectators over the weekend.

Spanish rider Jorge Martín secured victory in both the sprint race and the main Grand Prix, contributing to another high-profile edition of the French round.

Earlier in the season, other MotoGP events also recorded strong crowds, including a record-breaking turnout at the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez with 224,627 spectators, while Thailand and Brazil also posted high attendance figures.

Over the full 2025 season, MotoGP attracted more than 3.6 million fans across 22 races, with Le Mans remaining one of the standout venues in terms of global attendance.
