Brazil is edging closer to returning to the MotoGP calendar after over two decades. The contract could be signed as soon as December 12.
According to the Grande Prêmio website, the chosen venue will be the Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia Ayrton Senna, located in the state of Goiás. The agreement with Dorna spans five years, with the protocol and details already finalized.
In June, a delegation from the Goiás government attended the Dutch GP in Assen and subsequently traveled to Madrid to meet with Dorna’s CEO, Carmelo Ezpeleta.
Weeks later, a letter of intent was signed. However, it remains to be finalized as an official agreement for the Grand Prix to take place. Previous plans involving Deodoro and Brasília failed to materialize despite similar protocols being signed.
The last time MotoGP visited Brazil was in 2004, with the Rio de Janeiro GP held at the now-demolished Jacarepaguá Circuit. Goiânia hosted Motorcycle World Championship from 1987 to 1989.
