Post-Race Exit Strategy
The circuit sits in wooded hills with limited road access. Post-race traffic jams are severe — expect 1-2+ hours to clear the area if you leave immediately after the MotoGP race.
- —Option A: Leave before the podium. You miss the celebration but save 1-2 hours in traffic.
- —Option B: Stay for the podium, then wait 30-45 minutes for the initial crush to clear before heading to your car or the shuttle.
- —The free shuttle buses continue running after the race. Using public transport avoids the worst of the traffic.
- —If driving, consider having dinner in Brno city and leaving later in the evening when roads have cleared.
