Argentina is making a spectacular comeback on the MotoGP calendar, with Buenos Aires ready to host the series for the first time since 1999. The iconic Oscar y Juan Galvez Autodrome is being transformed into a modern, world-class circuit, set to replace Termas de Rio Hondo as the nation’s premier motorcycle racing venue.
Following the Brazilian Grand Prix, MotoGP CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta and Sporting Director Carlos Ezpeleta visited Buenos Aires to inspect the extensive renovations at the track. They were joined by local leaders, including AUSA president Juan Pablo Fasanella and OSD Group president Orlando Terranova, highlighting MotoGP’s strong commitment to the project.
The overhaul, launched in January, has been progressing rapidly. A complete redesign of the garage and paddock area is underway, replacing the outdated structures built for Formula 1 in 1995. Earthworks and excavation are being carried out to lay the foundations for cutting-edge facilities that will serve both teams and fans.
The track itself is also receiving major updates. Old asphalt, kerbs, and barriers have been removed, making way for a fully redesigned layout. Key sections, including the opposite straight and the complex section between Turns 10 and 13, are being reshaped, with advanced soil stabilization techniques ensuring durability and compliance with MotoGP Grade A certification standards.
When completed, the 4.3-kilometer circuit will feature 14 turns, an average width of 14 meters, and a main straight that could see speeds exceed 300 km/h. The City of Buenos Aires Sports Secretariat reports that construction is on track to be completed within 12 months, setting the stage for a thrilling return of MotoGP in 2027.
The revamped Oscar y Juan Galvez Autodrome promises to blend Argentina’s rich motorsport heritage with modern racing standards, offering an unforgettable experience for riders and fans alike.
