Om Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet:
Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet is a race course in Brasília, the capital of Brazil. With 5.476 km of length, the name of the circuit was originally Autódromo de Brasília at the establishment in 1974, but later changed to the current name. The circuit brought a non-championship Formula One race to Brasília one week after 1974's official Brazilian GP.
From 1995, the circuit was leased to NZ Empreendimentos, one of Nelson Piquet's companies, by the government of the Brazilian Federal District.[1][2] But, in 2006, the Federal District regained the control to manage the circuit due to NZ Empreendimentos' lack of attention to the track's management.[3][4][5]
The circuit is across the road from Brasilia's Estádio Nacional, which will be a venue of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
On 19 August 2013 it was announced that the circuit will host the MotoGP World Championship starting in 2014.[6] It will be the first motorcycle Grand Prix in Brazil since the 2004 Rio Grand Prix. Källa: Wikipedia.
