Japanese Grand Prix to stay on MotoGP calendar until 2030

CNA23-07-2025
The Japanese Grand Prix will remain on the MotoGP calendar until 2030 after a new contract was signed to continue holding races in Motegi, the motorcycling organisation said on Wednesday.
The Japanese GP has been a part of the world championship since 1990, with Motegi staging the race since 2004. Media reports said 229,000 spectators attended the event last year over three days, as Francesco Bagnaia won the Grand Prix.
"Japan is important for MotoGP. Motegi always puts on a fantastic show and is a point of reference on the calendar for its event organisation," said Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports.
The 2025 edition of the Japanese Grand Prix is scheduled for September.

Hitachi mulling over sale of Japanese white goods business, Nikkei reports

Japanese conglomerate Hitachi is considering selling its domestic home appliance business as part of a continued effort to prioritize the group's social infrastructure and digital sectors, the Nikkei newspaper has reported. The deal could be worth around 100 billion yen ($679.49 million) or more, the report said. Hitachi has reached out to multiple companies to buy its white goods business, with South Korea's Samsung Electronics being one of its potential suitors, Nikkei said. However, the report added that Hitachi is keeping the option of retaining the business open as well due to its potential of contributing to the company's brand recognition among consumers. Hitachi and Samsung Electronics did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for a comment. ($1 = 147.1700 yen)
