Czech Republic: 6th Brno MotoGP race, Yearly Event - Day 4

Time to leave Brno and go home. Mrki, our driver, discovered, that our van has 6 gears, so our way back home was more silent. As usual, we finished with lunch at Gostilna Ankele in Podljubelj.

We were on the photo in the newspaper

Czech Republic: 6th Brno MotoGP race, Yearly Event - Day 3

Race day!

The world’s most famous riders have taken part in GP events in Brno since 1930, where up until 1982 they would race through the villages and western parts of the city on a road track named after the first Czechoslovak President - T.G. Masaryk. A new circuit was built during the 1980s with the aim of attracting Formula 1 to Czechoslovakia, and in 1987 it played host to the FIM Czech Grand Prix. Popular with both fans and riders, the new circuit is built in a natural bowl which is banked in places to offer spectators an excellent view. Brno constantly changes in elevation as it sweeps across forested hillsides and its fast undulating corners test rider talent and engineering to the limit.

A lot of Slovenes come to the race, where the beer is still cheap (cca 2€).
