The Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix was a motorcycling event that was part of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. Before 1993, the race was known as the Czechoslovak motorcycle Grand Prix. Since 1965, the race was a part of world Grand Prix series (between 1983 and 1986 race was held as a part of European Grand Prix series only).[1]
Since 1987 the race was held on the newly built Brno Circuit,[2] the historical track led through the streets of western parts of Brno and neighboring villages, such as Bosonohy and Žebětín. It was the most prestigious motor race in the country.[3] Brno has also held the most motorcycle championship rounds in the sport's history after the TT Circuit Assen.[4]
The race was not included in the 2021 calendar after Brno city councillors announced that they would opt out for the season, citing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The race has also been absent from subsequent seasons.
