Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet Brasília Wikipedia

The NASCAR offseason is short, and while some get straight back to work by climbing into the simulator, others savor every moment away from the track.

Then came the bombshell towards the end of the January 2015, when Terracap unilaterally informed the race promoters that the Indycar event was cancelled. The new Governor, Rodrigo Rollemberg, cited a financial crisis for the Federal District, which had seen some public workers left unpaid and other expensive projects abandoned, such as the hosting of the 2019 student Olympics. Against such a background, completing the circuit refurbishment was seen as untenable.

Follow the organizers from these events and get notified when they create new ones. We will be using an entry-level ANSI certified sound meter which will be tested and calibrated at the beginning of each event. Reasonable efforts will be made to account for weather features and other factors that may affect readings. Sound failures will be tracked for the full season, and repeat offenders may face a suspension for the remainder of the WDCR season. We will make every attempt to accommodate those making good-faith efforts to implement corrective action, but it is important that we are good tenants and good neighbors.

All the while, the track surface and its facilities were becoming more and more outdated. The aim of the design was to provide a Category 1 circuit capable of hosting Formula 1 and other events whilst maintaining the characteristics of challenging corners with good overtaking potential, very smooth asphalt and good drainage. Against this unsettling background a deal was finally struck with MotoGP organisers Dorna for top class bike racing to return to Brazil at a heavily revised Brasília circuit. New plans were drawn up by Terracap, the government agency responsible for the construction and maintenance of the city of Brasília.

In 2017, a technical feasibility study was conducted for a possible public-private partnership, where the concessionaire would take over the management of the circuit. It looked to be making progress, with two proposals received in 2019, however they were ultimately found to be wanting and the project seemed to have stalled.

Beyond the track

To the delight of the local fans, the triple world champion teamed with Johnny Cecotto in a Bigazzi-run McLaren F1 GTR, taking wins in both races. The event was probably the highlight of the original circuit’s existence, which was renamed the Autódromo Internacional de Brasília soon afterwards and thereafter largely only visited by national series. The circuit is located in the northwestern sporting sector of the city and is easily accessible by road and public transport from all parts of the city. Any easy landmark to help find the circuit is Brasilia’s Estádio Nacional football stadium, which is immediately adjacent to the circuit. Courts had already questioned the expenditure, finding R$ 34.8 million of agency overpricing and criticising duplication of spending within the budget, as well as finding other issues with the design plans. In January 2015, Novacap withdrew the original tender and instead work on a scaled back programme of renovations commenced.

• We are saddened that the Junior Kart program is suspended at the National level until further notice.
• To celebrate the circuit’s opening, a non-championship Formula One race, the Grande Premio Presidente Emilio Medici, was held on 3 February 1974, one week after the official Brazilian Grand Prix.
• Construction work on the new circuit had been due to start in March 2014 and was scheduled be completed in just five months; but unfortunately ambition was overcome by reality and when funding was not forthcoming, the project was abandoned.

Revisions to all of the external corners to create much greater run-off were also planned, while the old start/finish straight was to be slightly realigned to move it further infield. Lightsouts is a calendar for motorsport events, always counting down to the next race. The track was inaugurated by a non-championship Grand Prix in February 1974.

Le Mans’ Greatest Driver: An Evening with Tom Kristensen

In preparation, the existing pit building was demolished and work began around the course to complete any changes not already started in December. In response, Banco de Brasília signed an agreement with Terracap in 2021, with the bank managing the work, the project and the future operation of the racetrack. So, after eight long years of inactivity, circuit racing was set to resume in Brasília. The aim is, over time, to transform the complex into a multi-purpose arena, with space for cyclists, hiking and racing, a kart circuit, car dealerships, off-road track, medical centre and drive-in maintenance shops. The new design by Terracap called for the re-siting of the main pit and paddock on the area formerly occupied by the kart circuit. The drive-in cinema which sits behind it (surely a unique feature in all of motorsport) was also set to be refurbished.

Our intent is to have fun, and create as little MOTOR SPORTS EVENTS nuisance as possible while we are guests of the surrounding community. There will be no refunds for events that you cannot attend due to an event date change dictated by the venue. WDCR SOLO SEASON SUBSCRIPTIONThis event is to register for the Washington DC Region (WDCR) SCCA Solo Season Full Subscription ONLY.

Due to site restrictions, WDCR will be enforcing a 100dB sound limit for all autocross events for the 2025 season. Sound levels will be monitored during competition runs according to SCCA Solo Rules Appendix H. (50ft from the driving line in an area where most cars will be at full throttle). A worker will be assigned to create a written record of sound readings on course. Competitors who fail sound will have one opportunity to take corrective action, which must be approved by the Chief steward before their next run. Failing sound a second time may result in forfeiting any remaining runs and a DNF for the day.

He cruised to victory, followed home by Scheckter and, somewhat surprisingly, the ISO-Williams of Arturo Merzario. Porsche Cup races are confirmed for October, ahead of the return of Copa Truck in early November. The season rounds out in mid-November with the return of Turismo Nacional and Stock Car Brasil for the super-finale event. Under the new plans the pit lane would remain in its original location, with changes to the Scavone and Moca corners to increase run off. A new overtaking point would be created via modifications to section between Turns 11 and Junção, resulting in a new short straight and a 90 degree bend.

These called for a totally rebuilt track, following a similar design to the Apex proposals, but with an additional section near to the Estádio Nacional football stadium. Street races had been held during the 1960s, but a facility suitable for a grand prix would need to be purpose built. Thus plans were advance for a multi-million dollar sports complex, including the circuit, a football stadium and a gymnastics venue, near to the city’s hotel zone.
