Track Info
Brno Circuit (Automotodrom Brno - Masaryk Circuit) - Brno, Czechia
Permanent road course - clockwise - fast, flowing 5.403 km lap with 14 corners, big elevation changes and a 636 m longest straight
When was the track built?
Brno’s racing heritage began on public roads in 1930. The permanent Automotodrom opened on July 18, 1987 within the hills west of the city, replacing the road course but preserving the event’s character. The venue features 5.403 km, 14 turns, 15 m width and significant vertical relief, refreshed with a new surface for MotoGP’s 2025 comeback.
When was its first race?
The circuit’s first race was the 1930 Czechoslovakian Grand Prix on the original Masaryk road course. Motorcycle world championship status arrived in 1965 on the roads, then moved to the purpose-built circuit from 1987 onward.
What's the circuit like?
- Flow and elevation: Brno links medium- and high-speed arcs with cresting entries and compressions; keeping minimum speed up is everything. Elevation swing is ~73.75 m, with gradients up to 7.5 percent.
- Big stops and long pulls: The 636 m straight tees up Turn 1 overtakes, while uphill drags reward exit traction and engine drive.
- Tyre and brake balance: Demanding on tyre load over long arcs; braking challenge varies by temperature and wind across the plateau.
- Benchmark pace: Overall 1:36.065 (BOSS GP). 2025 MotoGP pole 1:52.303 and race lap 1:53.691 underline the post-resurface speed jump.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- BOSS GP/F1-based - outright: 1:36.065 - Ingo Gerstl, Toro Rosso STR1, 2017.
- MotoGP - pole: 1:52.303 - Francesco Bagnaia, 2025. Race lap: 1:53.691 - Marc Márquez, 2025.
- Formula Renault 3.5 - race lap: 1:44.591 - Daniel Ricciardo, 2010.
- Group C (WSC) - race lap: 1:49.770 - Mauro Baldi, Sauber C9, 1988.
- Auto GP/A1GP - race lap: 1:43.260 - Luca Filippi, 2010.
Why go?
A natural amphitheatre with sweeping sightlines, Brno serves up relentless rhythm and overtakes without walls-in-your-face stress. Post-2025 resurfacing has dropped lap times, and the venue remains one of Europe’s best for a full weekend of major bikes, GTs and touring cars.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Turn 1 grandstands: Starts, restarts and late-brake lunges after the longest straight.
- Downhill Turn 3 hairpin area: See who balances rotation and traction on exit to set up passes uphill.
- Upper esses (mid-lap): High-load direction changes show tyre management and chassis poise.
- Main grandstand/pit straight: Strategy, stops and the sprint to the flag with paddock action in full view.
Not just MotoGP: headline series at Brno
WorldSBK (historic) and endurance: Multiple eras of superbike and endurance racing underline Brno’s flow and tyre stress.
WTCC/TCR & GT: WTCC (2006-2011), TCR Eastern Europe and Ferrari Challenge keep cars on the calendar alongside major GT events.
BOSS GP & junior formulas: F2-era machinery, FR3.5 and F4 CEZ showcase single-seater pace on the big, open layout.
