The Czechoslovakian Grand Prix was an automobile race. The popularity of Grand Prix motor racing in other European countries in the 1920s was such that on September 28, 1930 it came to the Masaryk Circuit in the town of Brno in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic).
The advent of German occupation and World War II saw the end of the race in that country until 1949 when the Masaryk Circuit was shortened to 17.8 km. The 1949 competition, raced in the opposite direction than the pre-war races, drew a crowd in excess of 400,000 people. However, this would be the last Czechoslovakian Grand Prix, and the race would never be part of the Formula One World Championship.
