Analysis Confirms MotoGP Was a Highly Efficient Investment

Last year’s Czech Republic Grand Prix in Brno generated a total of CZK 310 million in public revenues. Public-sector costs associated with staging the event amounted to CZK 176.5 million. This follows from the final impact study prepared by the Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE). The CREDITAS Group contributed to the successful return of MotoGP to the Czech Republic and is also the owner of Automotodrom Brno.

The economic analysis, building on preliminary data published in December, focused on the comprehensive impacts of the event. The study quantified the overall increase in so-called gross value added in the Czech economy at CZK 1.4 billion.

“Gross value added is a key economic indicator. Simply put, it represents newly created wealth – the value of final goods and services adjusted for the cost of inputs. This value forms the basis for the calculation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In the case of MotoGP, the vast majority of this value was generated directly in the South Moravian Region, where it resulted in a 0.15% increase in GDP,” explains Associate Professor Petr Mazouch from the Faculty of Informatics and Statistics at the Prague University of Economics and Business.

While the costs of the licence and security covered by the state, the region and the city amounted to CZK 176.5 million, total tax revenues reached CZK 310 million. This therefore represents an efficient use of public funds with a clear return on investment. According to the President of the Czech Automobile Club, Jan Šťovíček, the fact that the event is a clear benefit to public budgets is a strong commitment to prepare this year’s edition with the utmost precision and to maintain a high standard for fans and partners alike.

The conclusions of the independent analysis are also considered very important by Automotodrom Brno. The organisers are already intensively working on preparations for the next edition. “Our priority is to offer fans an even higher level of services than last year. We are almost doubling the area of large LED screens, relaxing the rules on bringing in one’s own refreshments, and changing the organisation of selected parking areas to ensure smoother movement of spectators around the venue,” said Karel Hubáček, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Automotodrom Brno.

The next edition of the Czech Republic Grand Prix will take place on 19–21 June 2026.
