Why the MotoGP site is not affiliated with Dorna Sports

Learn the reasons behind the MotoGP site's unofficial label, its partnership network, and the trademark protections that separate it from Dorna Sports.

Why the MotoGP site is not affiliated with Dorna Sports

The online hub that aggregates MotoGP news, race calendars and classification tables operates under a clear set of legal boundaries. It openly states that it is unofficial and bears no formal association with the commercial rights holder of the world championship. This transparency is not a marketing gimmick; it is a legal necessity that protects both the portal and the sport’s governing bodies.

While the platform collaborates with local circuits, event organizers and a range of official partners, it deliberately avoids any direct contractual relationship with Dorna Sports S.L. – the entity that manages the MotoGP™ brand worldwide. The distinction allows the site to provide extensive coverage without infringing on the exclusive rights held by the championship’s official licensee.

Legal disclaimer and trademark protection

Every page carries a statement that the portal is unofficial and is not linked to Dorna Sports S.L. or the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). In practical terms, this means the site cannot use the MotoGP logo, official photography, or any proprietary content without permission. The disclaimer also clarifies that the MOTOGP name and related symbols are registered trademarks of Dorna Sports, reinforcing the brand’s legal shield.

By foregrounding this notice, the website respects intellectual-property law and reduces the risk of litigation. It also informs visitors that any ticket sales, merchandise offers or promotional material presented on the site are managed by third parties, not by the championship’s official commercial arm.

Corporate identity and contact information

The portal is operated by TicketsGP s.r.o., a Czech-registered company (VAT: CZ14176262, Reg. No.: 14176262). Its headquarters are located at Nove sady 988/2, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic. This concrete corporate footprint gives users a point of contact for inquiries, complaints or commercial proposals, and it underscores the site’s legitimacy despite its unofficial label.

Website development and technical maintenance are handled by HexaDesign, a design studio that ensures the platform remains functional, user-friendly and compliant with data-privacy regulations. Visitors can also manage their cookie preferences directly through the interface, reflecting a commitment to transparency in data handling.

Implications for fans and partners

For MotoGP enthusiasts, the disclaimer signals that while the site can be a valuable source of race results, schedules and news, it does not replace the official channels for ticket purchases, official broadcasts or sanctioned merchandise. Fans should verify any commercial offer with the official MotoGP website or authorized vendors before completing transactions.

Partners such as circuit owners and event promoters benefit from the site’s extensive reach without jeopardising the exclusivity of the official MotoGP commercial rights. The collaboration model creates a symbiotic relationship where the portal gains authentic content and the partners gain additional exposure, all within the parameters set by Dorna Sports and the FIM.
