CAREY SAYS MOTOGP NEEDS ITS OWN PATH TO WIDER APPEAL

Liberty Media director Chase Carey says MotoGP should not expect to reproduce Formula 1’s growth simply by copying Netflix’s Drive to Survive. Liberty bought F1 in January 2017, and the documentary series’ first season arrived two years later, becoming one of the major developments under the new ownership and contributing substantially to the championship’s rising profile. Carey’s point is that MotoGP needs an approach suited to its own identity rather than a direct imitation of F1’s successful format. The available reports do not provide further detail on what that strategy might involve.
