Overview
- Organisers completed extensive resurfacing and paddock works worth R$55 million and secured national homologation as MotoGP prepares for its first Brazilian GP laps since 2004.
- Friday running has been expanded to a one-hour FP1 and a 1h15 afternoon Practice that will decide direct Q2 places to speed up learning on the new venue.
- Michelin’s allocation features three asymmetric fronts and three rears, with two reinforced-casing options matching Austria’s spec and a third based on the Buriram/Mandalika construction.
- Torrential rain earlier in the week flooded sections of the circuit and paddock, prompting a major clean-up; teams report a grippy but dusty line with thunderstorms still a risk, especially on Friday.
- Goiânia’s 3.835km, 14-corner layout with nine right-handers is set for ~1m16s laps and a 31-lap race, as points leader Pedro Acosta arrives after Thailand with Aprilia in strong form and Ducati seeking a rebound.
