The Brazilian Grand Prix has been part of the racing series for the last 50 years, with the exception of 2020 due to the COVID pandemic. In some years the race took place at the former Jacarepagua circuit in Rio de Janeiro — which is now the city’s Olympic Park.

Next season, the Sao Paulo Grand Prix will take place on 1-3 November.
