MotoGP: Ultimate Racing Technology, known in the United States as simply MotoGP, is a Grand Prix motorcycle racing video game for Game Boy Advance, Xbox,[3] Microsoft Windows, mobile phones, and N-Gage. It is based on the 2001 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season.

The game's features include weather effects, a dynamic replay mode and custom soundtracks. The game includes 10 real-world race tracks and all the riders and bikes from the 2001 MotoGP season. The menu theme music is Psynn by Shawn Hargreaves [pl].

An online-enabled demo of MotoGP shipped with Xbox Live starter kits in 2002.[4] Players who didn't own the full game could access 23 riders and three courses while players who did own the full game could access all the content they had unlocked.[5]
