MotoGP opens its 2027 season at the Thai Grand Prix in Buriram from 5 to 7 March 2027, at the Chang International Circuit. It is the first race under the championship's new technical rules for 2027 to 2031, with smaller 850cc engines. Our Thailand team covers the race in detail in its briefing on MotoGP Thailand 2027. Here we look at how agents should plan race-week groups from any market.
What Is Confirmed
- The dates. The race weekend runs from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 March 2027, with practice and qualifying before Sunday's race.
- A new era. It is the third year running that Thailand opens the season, and the first time the new 850cc bikes race.
- A long-term fixture. Thailand is under contract to host a MotoGP round until 2031, so the race can be sold as a repeat product.
Which Clients to Sell To
Race fans want good grandstand or hospitality seats, a hotel close to the circuit and reliable transfers. Corporate clients can use the race as an incentive, with a hospitality package at the circuit and a day out in the region. Groups who fly a long way get more from a week than a weekend: add a few nights in Bangkok before or after the race.
How to Plan the Ground Arrangements
Buriram is a provincial city in Thailand's northeast, and its hotel stock is small for an event of this size. Rooms fill well before race week, so some groups stay further out and drive in each day. Most international clients fly from Bangkok to Buriram on a domestic flight, or travel several hours by road, and flights around the race weekend fill early too. Book rooms and flights as soon as the client commits, and run the daily transfer to a fixed timetable, because roads near the circuit are busy before and after every session.
