Crash.net’s ‘What’s On’ in Motorsport Guide: March

After the first two months of 2019 have been largely dominated by pre-season testing events, the racing season starts in earnest in March.

F1, MotoGP and IndyCar all begin racing this month, while WEC returns to action for the first time after its winter break, as the action ramps up to provide some busy weekends of racing.

Here is a comprehensive guide to this month’s top motorsport to watch out for.

Qatar MotoGP (March 8-10)

With testing wrapping up at the end of February at the Losail International Circuit, all that remains left is to get racing underway with MotoGP starting in Qatar for the opening round.

Andre Dovizioso held off Marc Marquez to win the opening round at the same track 12 months ago, while the Ducati riders have impressed during winter testing, but the true pecking order will become clear at the opening race under the floodlights as the first grand prix race of the year takes place at night in the Qatari desert.
