As has been the case in previous years, 11 riders have each been chosen by the MotoGP™ teams to represent them across the series that runs from October to November.

This first round is crucial as it sets the stage for the championship race. Players will aim to accumulate maximum points to solidify their rankings heading into the next rounds.

While former champions Jack Hammer4658Adriaan_26 and Trast73 are among the favourites to add another crown to their tally, this year’s Global Series line-up features a host of new faces that are keen to shake up the existing order.

The Global Series has been streamlined for a punchier, even more exciting spectacle in 2024. The 11 finalists will contest three rounds, two of which are virtual events.

The third and final round will then be held live and in person at Milan Games Week from November 22nd to 24th, where the the stunning Italian city will be the scene of the crowning of this year’s MotoGP™ eSport Champion!

As witnessed in 2023 for the first time, each round packs a real punch, as gamers will compete in a Sprint race during each round, as well as two longer-length races.

And the three circuits are sure to offer up some spicy racing! The Pertamina Mandalika Circuit in Indonesia hosts the Sprint before Japan’s Mobility Resort Motegi is the scene of Race 1 and Australia’s legendary venue Phillip Island the scene of Race 2.

The riders will be playing on the new official MotoGP™24 Videogame from videogame developer, publisher and longstanding partner Milestone . The points system for Round 1 will mirror the MotoGP™ World Championship, with 25 points for a win, 20 for second and 16 for third.
