The MotoGP World Championship is about to experience a historic moment. Between March 20th and 22nd, Brazil will once again host a MotoGP stage after more than two decades. The Brazilian Grand Prix will be held at the Ayrton Senna International Autodrome, in Goiânia (GO), with the expectation of bringing together more than 200 thousand people over the weekend.
The return of the main category of world motorcycling to the country takes place on a completely modernized circuit. The racetrack, inaugurated in 1974 and which has hosted the championship between 1987 and 1989, has undergone renovations valued at around R$ 250 million, including resurfacing of the track, improvements in the escape areas, pits and general infrastructure.
Inside the track, the event will bring together the MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 categories, in addition to the debut of the Moto4 Latin Cup, a grassroots championship aimed at young riders from Latin America. The stage will also have a Brazilian representative in the spotlight: Diogo Moreira, who is making his debut season in MotoGP and will race in front of the local fans.
In addition to the races, the weekend will feature musical shows, autograph sessions, exhibitions, a gastronomic area and attractions for fans, both at the racetrack and at parallel events throughout the city.
