\nMotoGP is the leading motorcycle world championship series, while F1 is considered the pinnacle of car motorsport. <\/p>\n

\nThey have been instrumental to bringing the sport to different generations too, through the introduction of successful Netflix docu-series Drive to Survive<\/a>, while the sport has also launched partnerships with Apple TV, IMAX and Lego in recent years.
<\/p>\n \nLast year, Liberty Media also took over the rights for MotoGP<\/a>, although they were warned by the series’ key figures not to try and copy what they have done with F1.
<\/p>\n \nNow, it appears as though the mass media corporation are looking to bring their two series together, in a racing extravaganza for fans.

<\/p>\n F1 x MotoGP crossover at COTA?<\/p>\n \nMotorsport.com<\/a> are reporting that the United States Grand Prix in October<\/a> are planning to host both an F1 race weekend, and a MotoGP demonstration on the same track.
<\/p>\n \nThe above publication claim that the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) will see bikes complete a number of demonstration laps during the F1 weekend, giving F1 fans in Austin the opportunity to experience the motorcycle series up close.
<\/p>\n \nMotoGP has a grand prix that weekend in Australia, meaning no actual MotoGP racers will be present at COTA, and even the bikes will just be show bikes, rather than the actual racing motorcycles used in the series.
<\/p>\n \nSerious conversations have taken place about the potential for such an event, although there are no plans to hold a combined Formula 1 and MotoGP grand prix in the near future.
