Ayrton Senna Autodrome prepares to welcome Brazilian GP to Goiania

It is the first time a MotoGP will be held in 'The Land of the Holy Cross' since the 2004 Rio Grand Prix won by Makoto Tamada ahead of Max Biaggi and Nicky Hayden.

The circuit, which was renamed to honour Senna in 1994 after his fatal crash in Imola, is commonly used to host lower-tier bike races, stock car series, Brazilian NASCAR and Brazilian junior Formula events.

According to Brazilian outlet Diaro de Goias, the first few shipments have arrived in the cerrado city via Qatar airways.

This comes amid lots of confusion and speculation regarding MotoGP travel at this time, with many attendees of the Thai Grand Prix being temporarily stranded abroad due to the ongoing tensions in the middle east.

It seems that the local fans are very excited to welcome MotoGP to Goiania, and celebrate the homecoming of Moto2 champion Diogo Moreira as he now competes in the premier class.

The decision to swap the popular Argentina Grand Prix and replace it with Goiania has certainly not been without controversy. However, it seems that plans are in place for MotoGP to return to Argentina as well from 2027 onwards in Buenos Aires.

It is not the only circuit change made since the takeover by Liberty Media, either. Australia's legendary Philip Island Circuit is being axed in favour of an Adelaide street track, which the vast majority of MotoGP riders, teams and fans have been irritated by.

Elswhere, there have even been discussions about hosting MotoGP at the Yas Marina Circuit in the UAE as Liberty seek to copy their F1 model and apply it to MotoGP.
