Motorsport Events Track Days and Corporate Driving Events

Work to restore the track surface across the entire facility was under way in early November 2021, with milling of the previous asphalt undertaken before a new racing surface was laid a fortnight later. 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. Dorna announced in February 2014 that it would not be travelling to Brazil and a hiatus ensued. The immodestly named Autódromo Emilio Medici lacked little in facilities for the age; modern pit and paddock facilities were complemented by grandstands which could cater for 11,500 spectators. Additional bleachers and spectator banks around the perimeter mean that a total capacity of 100,000 could be accommodated.

Our intent is to have fun, and create as little 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.

New name as circuit settles into hosting domestic events

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. The events prompted the Brazilian auto federation to suspend car racing at the circuit until the problems were resolved, followed swiftly by Brazil’s motorcycling governing body. The latter ban was subsequently lifted when it was determined the track condition had no part in Daya’s crash. The plans were presented in 2007 and sparked some interest, though were ultimately never enacted.

All the while, the track surface and its facilities were becoming more and more outdated.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 JM Motorsport Events 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.

The track’s engineer Samuel Dias had created a technical layout which wound back and forth inside a roughly rectangular oval. The configuration, when viewed from above, was said to be based on a stylised rendition of a woman playing a harp. The Autódromo de Brasília was born as a product of political ambition and home sporting success combining to provide the impetus for a modern racing circuit. The circuit had something of a turbulent decade, where grand plans for redevelopment – first in the hope of attracting Formula 1, then MotoGP and finally IndyCar – fell through, leaving the track in disrepair. Keep up to date with dates for races from the major championships around the world on two and four wheels.

Emerson Fittipaldi had completed the negotiations with the government for the race to be held a week after the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos. Named the Presidente Emilio Medici Grand Prix, the race attracted a disappointing 12 entries, with the Lotus, Ferrari, Shadow and Hill teams electing to skip the event and head home. Nevertheless, the grid boasted Fittipaldi in a his McLaren M23, Carlos Reutemann in a Brabham BT44, Jody Scheckter in a Tyrrell 006 and Carlos Pace in a Surtees TS16. Fittipaldi’s brother Wilson lined up in a rented Brabham, while James Hunt had to make do with an outdated March instead of his usual Hesketh.

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.
