Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia Ayrton Senna

The Autodromo Internacional de Goiania Ayrton Senna is a 2.39-mile (3.84-km) race track built in 1974 on the outskirts of Goiania, Brazil. Although the Brazilian Formula 1 Champion Ayrton Senna Da Silva never actually raced in Goiania, the raceway received its current name in his honor after his tragic death. The venue hosted the MotoGP Brazilian Grand Prix and currently hosts Stock Car Brasil competitions and many other similar motorsports events. The tropical climate of Goiania is ideal for racing as it offers various atmospheric conditions that change depending on if the race is in the dry or the rainy season.

The Autodromo Ayrton Senna runs clockwise, starting on its long straightaway. The Curva Um (Portuguese for turn one) is a wide multi-apex corner leading into a fast-paced sweeper called Mergulho. The tight angle right-hander Miolo comes next, and its symmetrical opposite, Bico de Pato, brings racers into the snaking turn combination called Esse. The Curva Zero (Portuguese for turn zero) closes the loop of an exciting circuit where high-performance vehicles reach an average speed of 85 mph (136 km/h).
