Buenos Aires MotoGP circuit works progress ahead of 2027 return

Work is continuing on the revamped Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires, which returns to the MotoGP calendar as round four in 2027, its first Grand Prix since 1999. Paving has begun with three layers planned, and the first layer has already been laid over around two kilometres of the track.

A new access tunnel passing under Turn 1 is more than 400 metres long and has two lanes, allowing trucks and teams to enter and exit at the same time if necessary. The grandstands are being refurbished and pit box work is being finished.

Argentina will follow the Brazilian Grand Prix at Goiania, which joined the calendar this season, to complete back-to-back South American rounds. Separately, the city of Buenos Aires is negotiating to bring Argentina back to the Formula 1 calendar, with a reserve date mentioned as a possibility.
