Track map and layout
Not to be confused with the similarly named circuit in Goiânia, this is a separate Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in Londrina, in the northern part of Paraná state. It opened on 21 August 1992 as the third international-standard racing circuit built in Paraná, and was renamed in June 1994 to honour Ayrton Senna. The circuit runs 3.146 km (1.954 miles) over 10 corners and is owned by the city of Londrina, operated day-to-day by the municipal sports foundation (FEL) as one of the busiest regional racing venues in southern Brazil, with well over a hundred event and track-time dates on its calendar most years.
Events and race weekends
The Londrina circuit is a mainstay of Brazilian national and regional motorsport rather than a top-tier international venue, hosting Stock Car Brasil, Fórmula Truck and its successor Copa Truck, Formula 3, Formula Ford, motorcycle racing and drag racing over the years. Its 2026 calendar, published by the Fundação de Esportes de Londrina, lists 153 scheduled dates across the year, including 77 races and race meetings, up from 141 dates and 61 races in 2025, reflecting the venue's heavy year-round use for training, club racing and national series rounds.

Getting there and parking
The circuit sits on the rural fringe of Londrina, a mid-sized city in northern Paraná, a short drive from the city centre. Londrina's own airport handles domestic flights and is the most convenient way in for visitors not driving from elsewhere in the state; most fans and competitors travel to the circuit by car.

Spectator guide
As a regional venue built primarily for national and club racing, the circuit offers straightforward grandstand and general admission viewing along its start-finish straight and main corners rather than the large-scale spectator infrastructure of Brazil's biggest tracks.
Seating
Grandstands line the start-finish straight; general admission areas cover much of the rest of the circuit.
History of Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna (Londrina)
Paraná's third international circuit
The Autódromo Internacional de Londrina opened on 21 August 1992 in the northern Paraná city of Londrina, becoming the third circuit built to international standards in the state, after Curitiba and Cascavel. Built and owned by the Londrina municipal government, it was designed as a home for regional and national motorsport in a part of Brazil with a strong grassroots racing culture, and it quickly established itself as a well-used venue for club racing, training and touring national series.
Renamed for Ayrton Senna
In June 1994, not long after Ayrton Senna's death that May, the circuit was renamed the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in his honour, joining several other Brazilian circuits that carry the three-time world champion's name. Confusingly for visitors, a separate circuit in Goiânia carries the identical name; the two are unrelated venues in different states.
A workhorse of Brazilian racing
Over more than three decades the Londrina circuit has hosted a broad spread of Brazilian motorsport, including Stock Car Brasil, Fórmula Truck and its successor Copa Truck, Formula 3, Formula Ford, motorcycle racing and drag racing, without ever becoming a marquee international venue on the scale of Interlagos. Its real character today is as one of the busiest working circuits in the country: the 2026 calendar published by the city's sports foundation lists 153 scheduled dates across the year, including 77 races and race meetings, figures that have grown steadily from 141 dates and 61 races in 2025, reflecting sustained local demand for track time.
