History
The Grand Prix returned in 2014 with a race at Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo.[1] Previously, the event was held ten times at the Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez in the capital city of Buenos Aires.
The event is due to take place at the Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo until at least 2025,[2] however the 2024 race was cancelled due to "current circumstances" in the country.[3] And it is confirmed that the event will go back to Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez from 2027, however there will be no race in 2026 since the circuit is to be renovated.[4]
