Austin's Circuit of the Americas has confirmed its slot on the 2013 MotoGP calendar and will take up one of the unconfirmed spaces on the provisional schedule.
Despite promotorial disputes with 1993 500cc world champion Kevin Schwantz, the April 19-21 date has been cemented in and all three classes will visit the Texas circuit.
"The Circuit of The Americas team is delighted to introduce yet another world-renowned racing series to our 2013 event calendar, one we know will be hugely popular with fans coming to experience MotoGP for the first time at our state-of-the-art sports and entertainment complex in Austin," said track president Steve Sexton.
"MotoGP has a worldwide fan base with more than two million fans watching races in person each year. We’re confident it will be a great addition to our programming and draw tens of thousands of people to Central Texas, creating yet another major event with significant economic impact for our region."
