The Czech MotoGP, a beloved event held at the iconic Brno circuit, is making a triumphant return to the racing calendar in 2025 after a four-year absence. Organizers announced the news on Wednesday, bringing joy to fans and motorsports enthusiasts alike.
Brno, known for its rich history in motorcycle racing, has hosted over 50 races since its debut in the top category in 1965. The last Grand Prix held at Brno was in 2020, but financial difficulties stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic forced local authorities to halt the event due to the need for costly track repairs.
The return of the MotoGP to Brno is a testament to the sport’s enduring popularity in the Czech Republic and the circuit’s iconic status. The race initially took place on a street circuit before the dedicated Brno track was inaugurated in 1987. This time, a five-year contract has been secured, ensuring the race’s place on the MotoGP calendar until at least 2029.
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala expressed his enthusiasm in a statement, highlighting the long-standing tradition of motorcycle racing at Brno’s Masaryk Circuit, dating back to the 1950s. He emphasized the prestige of the MotoGP as a global event and its ability to attract tens of thousands of visitors to the Czech Republic.
“I am very pleased that we have managed to continue this tradition and that the MotoGP race will return to Brno after five years,” said Fiala. The return of the Czech MotoGP to Brno promises to be a thrilling spectacle for fans and racers alike, showcasing the spirit of racing at one of the world’s most celebrated circuits.
