KUWAIT: MotoGP, the highest-revving, fastest, most-exciting motorcycli­ng championsh­ip in the world has roared back into life with Qatar and Argentina races and Motul will once again be at the heart of the action. 24 riders, 12 teams, 6 different manufactur­ers and 24,000 horsepower will line up for the 2018 MotoGP season, and the always-present thrills and sometimes-present spills will be seen this year at 19 races across 15 different countries across the globe. The calendar has increased this year with the addition of the Thailand Grand Prix in Buriram.
