Overview

  • The renovation masterplan, led by F1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke, will overhaul the track surface, pits, paddock, safety barriers and essential support infrastructure at the Óscar and Juan Gálvez facility.
  • The event is expected to create jobs across hospitality, gastronomy, transportation and other service sectors.
  • Construction is set to begin in November and wrap up by February 2027 ahead of the circuit’s new layout debut in March.
  • This will mark Buenos Aires’s first MotoGP race since 1999 after the series moved to Termas de Río Hondo in 2014 and it revives a venue that hosted legends like Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher.
  • Local officials view MotoGP’s return as a catalyst for tourism growth and the first step toward rejoining the Formula 1 calendar.
