The '''Masaryk circuit''' ({{langx|cs|Masarykův okruh}}) or Masarykring, also referred to as the '''Brno Circuit''', refers to two [[motorsport]] [[race track]]s located in [[Brno]], [[Czech Republic]].
The original [[street circuit]] was made up of public roads, and at its longest measured {{convert|29.194|km|mi|abbr=on}}. The track is named after the first president of [[Czechoslovakia]], [[Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk]]. In 1949, events such as the [[Czechoslovakian Grand Prix]] attracted top teams and drivers. In 1987, the new (current) circuit was opened. The Brno Circuit is historically one of the oldest circuits, on the place were also held the most motorcycle championships in history after the [[TT Circuit Assen]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Brněnská Grand Prix je v oblibě. Ať spraví asfalt, říká ale Kornfeil |url=https://brnensky.denik.cz/ostatni_region/brnenska-grand-prix-je-v-oblibe-at-spravi-asfalt-rika-ale-kornfeil-20190806.html |work=Brněnský deník |date=6 August 2019 |language=cs}}</ref>

==Original circuits==
The original layout ran anti-clockwise on approximately {{convert|29.194|km|mi|abbr=on}} of public roads in the outskirts of Brno, where the start/finish was located in [[Bosonohy]]. The circuit went east past Kamenny and then went north past the Bohunice University Campus in Kejbaly, and went through the villages of Libusino, Kohouvotice and [[Žebětín]], out to Ostrovacice, through Veselka and back through a series of fast straights and kinks. From 1930 to 1937, the Masaryk circuit races attracted some of the top drivers and teams.<ref>Ivan Margolius, 'Czechoslovakia's First Circuit', ''The Automobile'', August 2019, pp. 48 - 54</ref>

On [[1949 Grand Prix season|September 25, 1949]], the race was held for the first and the last time in Czechoslovakia as part of the [[Grand Prix motor racing]] (later evolved into [[Formula One]]).<ref>{{cite news |title=Formule 1 na území Česka? Jednou se zde královský závod jel! |url=https://www.garaz.cz/clanek/formule-1-na-uzemi-ceska-jednou-se-zde-kralovsky-zavod-jel-724 |work=Garaz.cz |language=cs}}</ref> The Czechoslovakian Grand Prix in 1949 was run clockwise on a shorter {{convert|17.800|km|mi|abbr=on}} layout, which turned right at Veselka, bypassed Ostrovacice and entered Žebětín from the south rather than the west. In spite of a crowd in excess of 400,000 people, this would be the last Grand Prix for cars on the old circuit.

Beginning in 1950, the circuit played host to the [[Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix|Czechoslovakian motorcycle Grand Prix]], which became a world championship event from [[1965 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1965]]. The circuit had been again reduced in length to {{convert|13.941|km|mi|abbr=on}} in 1964, completely bypassing Žebětín and using a new through-road that went to Kohoutovice quicker. The [[European Touring Car Championship#ETCC 1963-1988|European Touring Car]] series visited in the 1980s, by which time the circuit had been finally reduced to {{convert|10.921|km|mi|abbr=on}} in 1975, which exited Kohoutovice from the south and bypassed Libusino and Kejbaly and went right through Kamenny and rejoined the main road back to Bosonohy.

==Modern circuit==
The current {{convert|5.403|km|mi|abbr=on}} permanent road racing circuit was opened on 18 July 1987.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://brnensky.denik.cz/ostatni_region/masarykuv-okruh-brno-otevreni-vyroci-36-let.html|title=Masarykův okruh má narozeniny. Podívejte se na porovnání minulosti a současnosti|language=cs|work=[[Deník]]|date=18 July 2023|access-date=1 February 2024}}</ref> It lies north of [[Kyvalka]], within the bounds of the circuit used in the 1930s, but not incorporating any of the public roads. 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.

The Czech Republic Motorcycle Grand Prix was more of a promoter event than a profit-raiser itself.<ref>{{cite news|title=Brno extends MotoGP contract until 2013|url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Brno+extends+MotoGP+contract+until+2013|date=5 November 2008|access-date=5 September 2011|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=[[Dorna Sports]]|archive-date=22 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222040341/http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Brno+extends+MotoGP+contract+until+2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> Since tobacco advertising has been banned in 2007, it is common among the other MotoGP events. Since August 2023, the circuit is owned by the Czech company Shakai.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Masaryk Circuit Has Been Acquired By Shakai, A Company Led By The Entrepreneur Karel Hubáček |url=https://www.automotodrombrno.cz/en/the-masaryk-circuit-has-been-acquired-by-shakai-a-company-led-by-the-entrepreneur-karel-hubacek/ |website=www.automotodrombrno.cz |language=en |date=3 August 2023 |access-date=14 December 2023}}</ref>
