The Masaryk Circuit
GRID Hotel stands right inside the Brno Circuit complex. The track this page is about begins a few dozen metres from reception — and its story goes back to 1930.
Today's circuit is 5,403 metres long and is the fifth incarnation of a track that once ran through forests and villages west of Brno for more than twenty-nine kilometres. Parts of the original layout are still public roads: whichever way you approach the hotel, you drive on a piece of that old circuit.
The summary below is written for hotel guests. For the current race programme, tickets and official information, see the circuit operator's and the Grand Prix promoter's websites.

T3 · History
From granite setts to MotoGP
Nine decades in eight stops. The circuit's own website tells the full story.
- 1930
The first race
A 29.1 km track through forests and villages west of Brno. Eliška Junková helps lay it out. Scuderia Ferrari comes to Brno, and with it names like Nuvolari, Caracciola and Chiron.
- 1937
An unwitting farewell
The Silver Arrows of Auto Union and Mercedes rule Brno from 1934. 1937 is the last race weekend for a long time — the war interrupted everything.
- 1949
Formula 1 in Brno
On a shortened 17.8 km layout, the Czechoslovak Grand Prix for Formula 1 cars is held — the only F1 race in the country's history. The world championship was founded a year later.
- 1950
Motorcycles arrive
The first motorcycle race at the circuit. National in character at first; by the end of the decade international names return, alongside home stars led by František Šťastný.
- 1965
World championship debut
After being shortened to 13.9 km and resurfaced, Brno welcomes the road racing world championship. In 1966 Mike Hailwood wins three classes here in one weekend.
- 1968–1973
The Agostini era
Giacomo Agostini wins at Brno six years in a row. The most successful Czech rider of the Grand Prix remains Bohumil Staša, with two podium finishes.
- 1987
The new circuit
The street circuit becomes unsustainable and today's closed venue is built — symbolically inside the original layout. Both the motorcycle and touring car world championships return.
- 2025
MotoGP returns
After a break since 2020, the Czech Republic Grand Prix returns. The venue underwent a major reconstruction — new asphalt, LED signalling, wider run-off areas. The comeback ran on 18–20 July 2025.

T5 · The hotel at the track
A metre from the grid
GRID Hotel is the only hotel inside the complex. The paddock, the grandstands and the pit lane are all within walking distance — no driving, no hunting for a parking space. On a race weekend that means you step out of your room and are trackside before the public gates open.
Outside the racing calendar the circuit runs almost all year round: public track days, team testing, corporate events, skid schools and safe-driving courses.

T6 · Booking
Sleep inside the Masaryk Circuit.
Rooms overlooking the track, the paddock a short walk from reception and free parking inside the complex. Book your stay for a race weekend — or for the quiet in between.
