Buenos Aires circuit works on track for MotoGP in April

Work on the renovated Autodromo Oscar e Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires is progressing, with the Argentine Grand Prix set to join the MotoGP calendar for 2027. The circuit, designed with input from architect Hermann Tilke, is due to be completed in time for the event, scheduled for April 9th to 11th.

According to the city government's update, the pit building should be finished in January, track paving in February and the access tunnel in March. Paving began in October, with three crews using 12 heavy vehicles, and three asphalt layers are being laid. Safety barriers and perimeter fencing are also being installed, and a night shift has been added to recover time lost to heavy rain linked to El Niño.

The MotoGP layout will be 4.3 km long, with nine right-hand and five left-hand corners. Buenos Aires mayor Jorge Macri has also said the city wants to bring Formula 1 back to Argentina, having presented the proposal to F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali.
