A fire broke out at the Autodrom Most paddock ahead of the 2026 Czech WorldSBK Round, caused by a generator, with explosions followed by flames producing significant smoke before firefighters arrived within minutes to extinguish the blaze. The incident left a significant part of the paddock without power, affecting hospitality areas, team tents, Pirelli trucks and the media centre. WorldSBK confirmed power was restored by 14:00 local time, with race direction and the medical centre unaffected throughout. Racing went ahead as planned.
