What the hell happened at the Brazilian Grand Prix? The weekend at the Autodromo Internacional de Goiania - Ayrton Senna was so highly anticipated, but between factors that were out of the MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group's control, and factors that were absolutely in its control, it seems like the race should've been called off at worst, or at the very least handled much better by the organizers.
Torrential rain almost put a stop to the Brazilian MotoGP before it started. But a circuit crew working overtime managed to get the surface pools of water off the track just in time for racing. But the rain was just the start of the Brazilian MotoGP madness, as the track was in terrible condition after things dried up, and continued to get worse over the weekend with some riders commenting that the track was changing color as it was essentially coming apart.
A massive sinkhole appeared along the main straightaway, delaying the whole schedule while it was extensively repaired. But that sinkhole was indicative of the whole track, which was degrading from session to session.
