Prostor startu a cíle s oběma věžemi tak, jak vypadal dříve, v pohledu směrem na Bosonohy - obálka Světa motorů. Start-finish area as it used to be back then, both towers visible, looking west to Bosonohy - the cover of Svět motorů magazine.

A velmi podobný záběr teď už ze současnosti - opět pohled směrem na Bosonohy. Všechny poválečné závody až do toho posledního v roce 1986 se jezdily v tomto směru. And now a similar shot as it is now - again looking west towards Bosonohy. All races following WW2 right until the final race in 1986 were run in this direction.

Boxová ulička s oběma věžemi a boxy. Pit lane with both towers and pits.

Původní výjezd ze zázemí, část boxů a západní věž. The old paddock exit, some of the pit stalls and the west tower.

Záběr opačným směrem - na východ směrem na Brno, respektive Nový Lískovec. Tímhle směrem se startovalo před válkou, v letech 1930-1937. Shot from the opposite direction - looking east towards Brno, or rather towards Nový Lískovec. The circuit was raced in this direction between 1930 and 1937.

Stará boxová ulička. The old pit lane.

Zídka, oddělující boxovou uličku od trati/silnice. Pit wall separating the pit lane and the track/road.

Původní boxy byly zazděny a nedá se do nich tedy dostat. The old pit stalls are walled up, so it's not possible to enter the stalls themselves.

Pamětní deska na zazděných boxech. A commemorative plaque at the walled up pit stalls.

Úplně jsem to neplánoval, ale shodou okolností jsem se zde ocitl přesně v den 88. výročí prvního závodu, který se na starém Masarykově okruhu kdy jel. It wasn't exactly planned, but as chance would have it, I visited the place on the exact day of the 88th anniversary of the first race ever held at the old Masaryk circuit.

The plaque says: "On this very spot, motorsport history was being written. On Sunday 28th September 1930, Eliška Junková has done a honorary lap of the track as part of the very first automobile race at this track, and Antonin Vitvar in 1950 (first motorbike race on the track) and Phil Read in 1965 (first world championship) prepared here for their legendary wins. This is Masaryk Circuit. In Bosonohy, 28th September 2015."

Východní věž s dalšími dvěma pamětními deskami. The east tower featuring two more commemorative plaques.

The plaque says: "On 28th September 1930, the celebrated history of automobile and motorbike racing in Czechoslovakia has begun on this very spot here at the Masaryk Circuit, length 29.142 km. Unveiled: 30th September 1995."

The plaque says: "As part of the 50th anniversary of the Alfa Romeo factory team (Autodelta), we are remembering the team's Italian driver Luigi Rinaldi who has died tragically on 20th May 1972 during the Brno Grand Prix practice session. We are unveiling this commemorative plaque on 14th September 2013 on the occasion of the 41st anniversary of the tragic death of Luigi Rinaldi, the Italian Autodelta driver of Alfa Romeo 1300 GTAJ. In his honor from the free association of former drivers and friends of Alfa Romeo - Autodelta CZ Brno. Made possible thanks to the initiative of a former Alfa Romeo 1300 GTAj Autodelta private driver - Jan Váňa."
