Heavy Rain and Flooding Hits Autodromo Ayrton Senna Ahead of MotoGP Brazil GP

MotoGP’s historic return to Brazil is under serious threat after torrential rain flooded the Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in Goiania this week. The circuit was hit by heavy rain on both Monday and Tuesday, with the paddock access tunnel submerged under 25cm of water and parts of the track itself also affected. Goiania’s Civil Defence issued an emergency flooding alert as organisers race to clear the circuit with 48 hours remaining before practice begins.
