Question

Are tracks used in moto gp and formula 1 the same?

Answer 1

the following tracks found in motogp 2008 calendar are found in 2008 f1 calendar....

jerez-spain(testing before season begins happen there usually)

donigton-great britain,(2009 british gp gonna happen there!!)

indianapolis-Indiana-USA(everyone remebers the 2005 US GP ;-)                )

Answer 2

Yes, as far as I know. GP2 being the training ground for F1 the tracks should be the same thereby allowing the younger guns to learn the layouts of each.

Answer 3

Some are, some aren't.

Shanghai ( China), Barcelona (Spainsh in F1, Catalyan in Moto GP) and Sepang, Malaysia.

Jerez, Estoril and Indianapolis are used in Moto GP and have been used in F1.

Donnington is used in Moto GP and as it stands at the moment, will hold F1 in 2010.

Answer 4

some are race track are modified especially the diversion of tight curve, some are retained as it is.

Answer 5

Some of the tracks Moto GP race at are the same track and configuration as the Formula cars run. Others have to be modified or changed for safety reasons.

Motorcycle race tracks require a certain level or runoff area and gravel traps for the riders to slide in for their own safety. That is why MotoGP doesn't run at some of the tracks that F1 does, and vise versa.

Formula 1 has very high standards and strict requirements to be put on their season schedule. Moto GP, while still high, has lower standards and requirements.
