The motorcycle race moved to the new circuit and regained its status as a round of the world championship. A [[World Sports Car Championship#1982 to 1992|World Sports Car Championship]] race was held in 1988, and a round of the [[A1 Grand Prix]] series in 2006. It was also the location of the [[24H Series|24H Epilog of Brno]] (previously [[6 Hours of Brno]]). The annual [[Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix|Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Czech Republic]] was the circuit's most important event. It had been held here since 1950 and was the most famous motor race in the Czech Republic. The race was part of the [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|World Grand Prix]] in the years of 1965–1982, 1987–1991, 1993–2020. The [[FIA World Touring Car Championship]], [[FIA GT1 World Championship]], [[Formula Two]] and the [[Superbike World Championship]] also raced at the circuit.
