The new circuit was originally but has been repeatedly postponed ever since.

An inaugural test session was held at🔯 the venue in 2019, where the development riders suggested the tight and twisty layout would be better suited to Moto3 and Moto2 than the 1000cc MotoGP machines.

Then came Covid and the war in Ukraine, promp🅠ting the most recent postponement to be issued in May, when ongoing homologation work “together with the🐬 risks caused by the ongoing geopolitical situation in the region, have sadly obliged the cancellation of the Finnish Grand Prix in 2022.

“Al🌞l parties have therefore agreed that the track’s debut must be postponed to 2023, when MotoGP looks forward to returning to Finland for the first time in four decades.”

But recent events suggest 2023 is now also looking unlikely, with two with the circuit over unpaid bills.
