Kartódromo Ayrton Senna

Kartódromo Ayrton Senna, Go-kart track located in Lauro de Freitas, Bahia, Brazil

The Kartódromo Ayrton Senna was a go-kart circuit in the Ipitanga neighbourhood of Lauro de Freitas, near the border with Salvador. It opened in 1991 on 50,000 square metres of land lent by the Archdiocese of São Salvador da Bahia to the Bahia Automobile Federation. In August 2013 the construction of the Pan-American Judo Centre cut the site to 30,000 square metres and shortened the track from 1,050 to 820 metres.

The Kartódromo Ayrton Senna opened in 1991 as Bahia's second kart circuit, after the now-extinct Kartódromo do Stiep in Salvador. It hosted rounds of the Campeonato Baiano de Kart, the Campeonato Brasileiro de Kart and the Copa Brasil de Kart. In August 2013, construction of the Centro Pan-Americano de Judô cut the circuit from 1,050 to 820 metres on a reduced 30,000 m² site; the Arquidiocese de São Salvador da Bahia, which had lent the land to the Federação de Automobilismo da Bahia, took it back in early 2014.

The track is named after Ayrton Senna, a legendary racing driver, to honor his memory and inspire new generations of racers. It serves as a gathering place for people who share a passion for motorsport and competition in the local community.

The circuit lay in Ipitanga, on the edge of Lauro de Freitas near the Salvador boundary. The land, 50,000 square metres, was lent by the Archdiocese of São Salvador da Bahia to the Bahia Automobile Federation. After the judo centre was built over part of it in August 2013, the track shrank to 30,000 square metres and from 1,050 to 820 metres. The Archdiocese took the land back in early 2014, so the site no longer operates as a kart track.

The circuit sat on 50,000 square metres lent by the Archdiocese of São Salvador da Bahia to the Bahia Automobile Federation. In August 2013 the site was cut to 30,000 square metres for the Pan-American Judo Centre, shortening the track from 1,050 to 820 metres until the land was reclaimed in early 2014.
