The Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia Ayrton Senna is on track to become the next Brazilian venue for MotoGP, following a new agreement with Dorna. Set to begin in 2026, the deal promises to bring top-tier racing back to Brazil, continuing the country's rich motorsport legacy.
The Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia Ayrton Senna could become the latest Brazilian circuit to host a MotoGP event.
According to GRANDE PRÊMIO, the Goiás government has reached an agreement with Dorna to bring MotoGP back to Brazil starting in 2026.
“The official signing of the agreement to bring the event to the Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia Ayrton Senna will take place on December 12th, with a contract lasting for five years,” the report states.
Jacarepaguá hosted the Rio de Janeiro Grand Prix from 1995 to 2004, while Goiânia was home to the Brazilian Grand Prix between 1987 and 1989. Interlagos also hosted the event in 1992.
Since 2004, several agreements have been announced for MotoGP races in Deodoro and Brasília, but neither came to fruition.
The latest agreement follows discussions between the Goiás government and Dorna during this year’s Dutch TT in Assen, as well as talks with Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta in Madrid.
Currently, Argentina is the only South American race on the MotoGP calendar. However, the Argentine Grand Prix has been canceled for 2024 and remains uncertain for 2025, though it is still scheduled for March 14-16.
