About Buriram
Overview
Buriram International Circuit, known commercially as Chang International Circuit, is a permanent racing venue on the southern side of Buriram, a provincial city in north-eastern Thailand roughly 400 km by road from Bangkok. It stands beside the stadium of the Buriram United football club. Because alcohol advertising is restricted in some countries, the non-commercial name is used alongside the sponsor's. It was the first circuit in Thailand to hold both an FIA Grade 1 and an FIM Grade A licence, and it hosts the Thailand round of the MotoGP world championship, rounds of the Asia Road Racing Championship and the national Thailand Super Series.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
Hermann Tilke drew up the masterplan with a brief that as much of the track as possible should be visible from the main grandstand. The Grand Prix circuit is 4.554 km long with 12 turns. Its lap is built around two long straights, one of them about a kilometre, which give way to a compact series of corners laid out in front of the grandstand. Turn 3 is a hairpin at the end of a straight, approached by riders in sixth gear before they drop three gears. The circuit can be split into several shorter configurations, designed for local championships with lower-powered near-production cars, and three of them can run at the same time. Floodlighting meets FIA standards for night racing. In 2017 the pit entry was moved from after the final corner to just before it. As of 2026 the outright lap record stood at 1:23.848, set by Nick Cassidy in a Ligier JS P217 at the 2020 4 Hours of Buriram, and the fastest MotoGP race lap was Marco Bezzecchi's 1:30.487 on an Aprilia at the 2026 Thailand Grand Prix.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The site covers about 1,200 acres. The main grandstand seats 50,000, and grass banks take the total capacity to around 100,000. The pit garages sit underneath the main grandstand, an arrangement that has been compared with the pit buildings at Le Mans. Two large ponds inside the perimeter help move air around the site and reduce humidity.
History
The circuit was the project of Newin Chidchob, a local politician and former cabinet minister who also owns the football club and its stadium, and its purpose was to make Buriram a sporting destination and draw tourism to the north-east. Ground was broken on 2 March 2013 and the build cost about 2 billion baht. The venue was originally planned to FIA Grade 2 but received Grade 1 in September 2014. It opened on 4-5 October 2014 with a round of the Japanese Super GT series, watched by about 130,000 spectators, and Super GT returned every year until 2019. World Superbike arrived on 22 March 2015, when Jonathan Rea won both races, and kept a round there until 2019. The circuit also staged the World Touring Car Championship in 2015 and the Asian Le Mans Series from 2016 to 2020. Dorna Sports confirmed MotoGP for Buriram in September 2017, and the first Thailand Grand Prix was run in 2018. After a break during 2020 and 2021 the race returned in 2022, and in November 2025 the contract was extended to 2031.
