On the 11th January 2016 Dorna Sports and the Czech Grand Prix Association agreed a deal that will see MotoGP™ remain at the Automotodrom Brno until 2020.

The 2016 Czech Grand Prix is scheduled for 21 August, forming the second half of a double-header with the Red Bull Ring in Austria, a new addition to the MotoGP™ World Championship calendar for this year.

Dorna Sports Chief Executive Officer Carmelo Ezpeleta and the representatives of the Czech Grand Prix Association in Brno – Mayor of the City of Brno Petr Vokrál and the President of the South Moravian Region Michal Hašek – signed the agreement.

Carmelo Ezpeleta – Dorna Sports CEO: “The signing of this agreement is one of the most important acts as far as the MotoGP™ World Championship is concerned. It is very important for our company, which arranges those races, that the Brno Circuit is a part of the championship for the following years.”
