    I live near this circuit. Every year I am driving an amateur hillclimb race "Farina Turn" on part of the old circuit.

    Thank you for the video , brought back some memories . I worked as a timekeeper in motorsport for a number of years. Brno was one of my favourite circuits - FIA GT , WTCC , ETCC . We had a drive around parts of the old circuit one year , and I particularly remember the pits. Cheers

    Vandaag heb ik Masaryk Brno gereden. eerste poging was de originele counterclockwise ronde. Helaas is een deel van de route nu (ik hoop tijdelijk) 1 richting rijden. dus konden we omkeren. Poging twee dan maar met de klok mee. Dat ging alleen een heel klein beetje fout bij de autoweg kruising, maar daarna weer mooi opgepakt. prachtig asfalt alsof je er zo weer kunt racen en in veel bochten lijkt de originele banking nog te zitten. Werkelijk een genot om te rijden. Ik wil het zeker nog eens met de motorfiets doen. Er is trouwens bij Brno - farinova zatacka een prachtig monument eerbetoon aan het circuit gemaakt met zuiltjes en daarop alle namen van de winnaars. Een info bord met geschiedenis en zo. Het was zo echt een belevenis. Delen zijn ook weg maar het grootste deel van het circuit is er nog. Inderdaad jammer van de rotondes.

    Yeah, the Kohoutovice long corner part is gone, they build Lidl on that spot, otherwise its still drivable :)

    An interesting looking circuit. Did formula 1 ever use this circuit?

      No, only pre-war Grand Prix and the World Championship for motorcycles.

      Yes it was used by F1 the year before they started calling it F1, that was in 1949. That's how the famous "Farina curve" got it's name, when Giuseppe Farina lost control in that corner and have killed 2 spectators and injured several others. After that the most prestige event held there was the motorcycle Grand Prix which stayed in Brno until today.
      Btw. After the war the direction was changed to clockwise and circuit was shortened couple of times.

      @@daniel4726 Talk crap about commies all you want, but they kept the shorter version alive for decades! It was still somewhat used in the 80s, then the big circuit was made, which btw held WTCC races...
