Since 1987 the race was held on the newly built Brno Circuit,[2] the historical track led through the streets of western parts of Brno and neighboring villages, such as Bosonohy and Žebětín. It was the most prestigious motor race in the country.[3] Brno has also held the most motorcycle championship rounds in the sport's history after the TT Circuit Assen.[4]

The race was not included in the 2021 calendar after Brno city councillors announced that they would opt out for the season, citing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The race has also been absent from subsequent seasons.
