The tightness of the MotoGP and Formula 1 events makes schedule conflicts inevitable. Racing two events on the same day will be commonplace.

Race fans will be spoiled by the many events that take place in 2020.

Of the two most prestigious racing events, namely MotoGP and Formula 1 (F1), there are already 42 racing series that will take place throughout the year.

F1 for the first time in history will hold 22 racing series. That number is more than 21 series per season held in the last two years.

Not wanting to lose, MotoGP adds to the racing agenda. Marc Marquez et al. will run 20 races instead of 19 like the last two years.

The idea of ​​increasing the number of races in a season reaps the pros and cons.

Some racers refused because the tight championship meant less vacation time. However, there are also those who provide support.

"It's boring to have to wait for the race to break, the more races, the more happy I am," said MotoGP rider Maverick Vinales. 

 Vice President of Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), Shuhei Nakamoto, said there were two big differences between F1 and MotoGP.

Different opinions expressed F1 racer, Max Verstappen. Verstappen instead highlights the difficulties experienced by crew members as more races are held.

"For most people, a racing series can last for five or six days," Verstappen said.

"Mechanics [to be harmed], they can immediately file for divorce if there will be more races," added the youngest F1 race winner.

Meanwhile, with the increasingly tight schedule of the championship, it is not surprising that there will be a week when F1 and MotoGP racing series are held simultaneously.

A total of 10 of the 52 weeks in 2020 will be filled with a double race from the land jet race and the iron horse on the track.

The racing action will start on March 22, 2020, when the Bahrain F1 GP series will be held on the same day as the Thai MotoGP.

If it goes according to plan, a solid weekend will occur again in April (2 weeks), May (1), June (2), August (1), October (1), and November (2).

BolaSporter does not have to worry about allocating time to watch both races because it will not be held at the same time.

For example, when both took place on the European Continent, the MotoGP race was held earlier.
