CREDITAS Group Acquires Automotodrom Brno

The CREDITAS Group is significantly expanding its activities in the field of sports. Following its involvement in the successful return of the legendary MotoGP to the Czech Republic, the group is now acquiring Automotodrom Brno itself.

The facility includes Polygon Brno – a state-of-the-art safe driving centre – and a modern four-star hotel. Thanks to its infrastructure, strategic location and timeless circuit layout, Automotodrom Brno ranks among the most important racing facilities in Central Europe, both from a sporting perspective and in terms of its economic contribution to the region. “It is an honour that, alongside our activities in banking, energy and real estate, we are now taking over Automotodrom Brno – a true Czech gem, much like the Grandhotel Pupp. We hope to bring fans unforgettable experiences and support the further development of this exceptional venue,” said Jiří Hrouda, CEO of CREDITAS Group.

Automotodrom Brno, home of the famous Masaryk Circuit, is an iconic site of Czech motorsports with a tradition dating back to 1930, when the first race was held on the original road circuit. The current facility, opened in 1987, has hosted MotoGP, Masaryk Racing Days and countless other prestigious events. It also serves as a venue for a broad range of sporting, corporate and public activities – from test days, training sessions and karting races to open track days for motorsports enthusiasts.

The change of ownership follows shortly after the successful return of MotoGP to the Czech Republic, with the races making a comeback after a five-year hiatus. CREDITAS Bank was the main partner of the Czech Grand Prix, which attracted nearly 220,000 fans. Building on this success, it has already been confirmed that MotoGP will return to Automotodrom Brno in the coming years, with the next race scheduled for 19–21 June 2026.

“Without a strong partner such as CREDITAS Group, bringing MotoGP back to Brno would not have been possible. As the new owner, its contribution will be even more significant. I’m delighted that the original team will remain in place and that Automotodrom will continue to be a venue for top sporting experiences as well as numerous public and private events,” added Karel Hubáček, Chairman of the Board of Automotodrom Brno, the company operating the Masaryk Circuit.
