MotoGP deputy CEO Dan Rossomondo says Adelaide will be among the calendar’s safest circuits when the new street race debuts in 2027.
MotoGP deputy CEO Dan Rossomondo says Adelaide’s new street circuit will be “one of the safest circuits on the calendar” when the Australian venue joins the championship in 2027.
His assurance came after the layout was unveiled on Aug. 30, offering MotoGP its first concrete view of the venue set to host a new Australian city race next season.
Safety leads the Adelaide discussion
Street circuits present different design challenges than permanent tracks because public roads and nearby infrastructure determine the available space. Rossomondo has placed rider safety at the heart of preparations for Adelaide’s 2027 debut.
“One of the safest circuits on the calendar”
The statement is a firm expectation from MotoGP’s deputy CEO, rather than paddock speculation. The supplied details contain neither final homologation information nor a complete construction schedule.
Layout moves into the public phase
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas unveiled the planned circuit on Aug. 30.
The presentation moved the project beyond its initial announcement and toward delivery, with the layout now public before the inaugural 2027 event. Adelaide has extensive street-racing history, while MotoGP adds motorcycle-specific demands to the design and approval process.
A new Australian stop
Adelaide is due to welcome MotoGP in 2027, the same season that the championship starts its new technical era. Preseason testing plans for that campaign were confirmed on Sept. 2.
The Adelaide project sits apart from the current 2026 title fight, which has nine rounds remaining. Its development instead forms part of work on next year’s calendar and the switch to new-generation machinery.
Work continues toward 2027
No rider market rumor or team claim accompanies the latest update. The confirmed development is Rossomondo’s public safety assurance after the layout reveal.
Adelaide will now focus on preparing the street venue for its first MotoGP race in 2027, with the circuit still required to complete the approval process before bikes take to the course.
