MotoGP’s return to Brazil in 2026 faces hurdles amid ongoing track works
Despite ongoing track works, a representative from the FIM remains confident, stating that there is “no cause for concern” regarding Brazil’s return to the MotoGP calendar.
Taking place at the Ayrton Senna circuit in Goiania, MotoGP is set to return to Brazil after a gap of more than 20 years in March for the 2026 season’s second round scheduled on 20-22 March.
The circuit, a former MotoGP World Championship host in the late 1980s, has been undergoing significant renovations to meet current standards.
While there are worries about potential delays in the preparation process, FIM’s sporting director, Paul Duprac, assures that the work is progressing as planned for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
With close monitoring and continuous updates, including the newly laid asphalt and improved facilities, FIM is confident that the Brazil weekend will proceed as scheduled.
