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]

The Xbox version received "favorable" reviews, and the Game Boy Advance version received "average" reviews, while the N-Gage version received "unfavorable" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[37][38][39] In Japan, where the GBA version was ported and published by MTO on October 25, 2002, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.[10]

MotoGP was nominated for GameSpot's annual "Best Graphics (Technical)" and "Best Driving Game" among Xbox games, and was a runner-up for the publication's "Best Driving Game on Game Boy Advance" prize.[40] The game was also a nominee for "Console Racing Game of the Year" at the AIAS' 6th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, which ultimately went to Need for Speed.[41]
