Funding of €11.16 million through the Sports EPA programme has been approved for Serres Circuit, according to the Prime Minister’s Office briefing of 8 November 2026. The announcement accompanied Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s visit to the track.

The plan includes redesigning and extending the circuit by one kilometre, modernising buildings and upgrading technical and racing equipment.

What has been announced and what remains pending

The government describes the funding as approved. Its briefing gives no specific completion date or certified project acceptance. The prime minister referred to remaining administrative obstacles.

FIA Grade 3 and FIM Grade B certification are goals after the works, rather than statuses already obtained. Similarly, the reference to World Superbike-level events does not announce that a specific race has been awarded to Serres.
