These are difficult times for circuit owners. The Jerez de la Frontera circuit in southern Spain is currently dealing with asset seizures from the contractor who carried out alterations to the circuit, putting the future of the Andalusian circuit in jeopardy. And now it has emerged from the Czech Republic that the Autodromo Brno, home of the Czech Grand Prix, made a loss of 79.7 million Czech Koruny last year, or approximately 3.26 million Euros, and potentially unable to stage the MotoGP round from 2012.
According to a spokesperson of the Cardion AB MotoGP team - the owner of the Cardion AB team, Karel Abraham Sr. also owns the Brno circuit - the 2011 MotoGP race is not in danger, and will proceed as planned. The problem for the circuit is that there is a major budget shortfall for the MotoGP race, and if they do not receive support from the Czech government, they will be unable to fulfill their contract to stage the race until 2014.
