Thailand will continue to host a MotoGP race at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram until at least 2031, the sport and local organisers said on Wednesday.

The race has become a fixture on the calendar since its debut in 2018 and the new agreement extends the contract from 2027.

A Thai government spokesman said last week that the cabinet had approved a budget limit of 3.9 billion baht ($119.08 million) for organising the race over the five-year period.

"The Thai GP has only grown into a more and more important, and impressive, event," said MotoGP CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta in a statement.
