F1 Owners Liberty Media Set to Acquire MotoGP in $4 Billion Deal

In a landmark move poised to reshape the motorsport landscape, Formula 1 owners Liberty Media are on the brink of acquiring MotoGP in a monumental $4 billion deal, as reported by The Financial Times. This acquisition marks a significant expansion of Liberty Media’s motorsport portfolio, following their acquisition of Formula 1 from Bernie Ecclestone in 2017 for $4.6 billion.

The anticipated acquisition of MotoGP, alongside its accompanying series Superbikes, currently under the ownership of Dorna, signals Liberty Media’s ambitious vision to harness the growth potential of motorcycle racing, mirroring the exponential trajectory witnessed in Formula 1. With motorsport’s premier class valued at an estimated $17 billion, Liberty Media seeks to leverage MotoGP’s global appeal and commercial viability to further bolster its motorsport empire.

However, the completion of the deal hinges upon ratification from the European Union, presenting a potential hurdle in the acquisition process. Historically, the EU has enforced regulations prohibiting the ownership of both Formula 1 and MotoGP by a single entity, a directive that compelled private equity group CVC to divest MotoGP ownership in 2006.

The pending acquisition prompts speculation regarding a paradigm shift in market dynamics since 2006 and potential revisions to EU regulations governing motorsport ownership. While concerns over TV commercial rights deals and consumer pricing influenced past EU rulings, Liberty Media’s stewardship of Formula 1 has demonstrated significant revenue growth, from approximately $1.7 billion to $3.2 billion by 2023, underlining the commercial success achievable under their ownership.

With Liberty Media poised to extend its influence into the motorcycle racing realm, MotoGP anticipates a transformative era under American ownership, poised to unlock new avenues for growth and innovation. As the motorsport landscape undergoes a seismic shift, the impending acquisition underscores the enduring allure and commercial viability of premier racing series, paving the way for an exciting new chapter in the motorsport saga.
