On 14 December 2024, MotoGP announced that the Brazilian Grand Prix will return to Goiania in 2026, with the track being resurfaced and upgraded to be able to host, as it currently has a too low of a FIA/FIM Grade.[1]
In March 2025, several riders such as Luca Marini, along with Franco Morbidelli, two premier class riders and two home riders, Eric Granado and Diogo Moreira, did a demo lap on this circuit in a special visit between the Argentine GP and America GP races.[2]
