Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna
A 1974-built venue returning to the calendar in 2026 after a 37-year gap, following a R$55m resurfacing and safety upgrade. The entire outer edge from Turn 11 through Turn 4 is right-handers only — riders taking Turn 5 from the inside do it on cold left-side tyre rubber, a genuine talking point ahead of this race. Corner count is disputed between sources (12 vs 14); we're using the better-corroborated 14. The Autódromo also carries the name of Brazil's most celebrated driver, Ayrton Senna, tying the venue's identity to motor racing more broadly rather than to motorcycles specifically.

The lap
The lap, drawn from the official circuit diagram and simplified to 101 points. This is the shape of the circuit; the length and corner count in the strip above are the published figures, hand-checked against the circuit’s own specifications.
What a ticket here actually gets you
Zone and stand structure, checked 3 Aug 2026. No prices — those move, and we do not publish one until it has been checked and dated.
What a Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna weekend actually costs
Seats we could actually find on sale at Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna ran from BRL 500 up to BRL 990 (general admission through to the priciest grandstand, not counting hospitality or Paddock Club) — checked 3 Aug 2026. Ticket prices move constantly and this is not every seat at the circuit, so treat it as a rough budget, not a quote. A typical return flight from a mid-priced European hub, booked around two months out, runs about €950 a person; add roughly €300 a person for three nights in a mid-range hotel over the race weekend. These are grounded, dated estimates, not live quotes.

Getting there
Santa Genoveva Airport (GYN) serves Goiânia, 8km from the city centre; exact airport-to-circuit distance isn't published yet. Goiânia, the nearest major city, sits inland on Brazil's central plateau rather than on the coast, so this round has a noticeably different look and feel from the country's earlier, coastal Interlagos races.
Where to sit
A reseller-published sector map names Largada (start/finish), Reta (main straight), Curva Um (Turn 1) and Mergulho (a downhill braking section) grandstands, plus a Sector F general admission — not yet cross-checked against an official Dorna source. The Bico de Pato — the ‘duck's beak' kink named for its shape on the track map — sits between the main straight and Turn 1, and is one of the reference points locals use to describe the lap even before ticket zones are fully finalised. Local reseller listings also describe a covered VIP option above the main straight, distinct from the open-air Largada and Reta stands, though we have not independently confirmed its exact position.
