The Autódromo Rosamonte, also known as the Autódromo Ciudad de Posadas, is a race track situated in Argentina, located on the outskirts of the City of Posadas, in the Province of Misiones.[3] It was founded in 1980 and since its major remodeling in 2007, it has become the most crucial racing circuit in the province, relegating the Ciudad de Oberá Autodrome in terms of relevance, beyond its strategic location. The circuit is managed by the Misiones Automobile Club and is named after the yerbatero company -íctica Rosamonte, the main producer of Yerba mate in the Province and main sponsor of various sports activities.

It has a total length of 4.370 km (2.715 mi) in its main extension. It is characterized by a layout that adopts the qualities of the terrain of the Province of Misiones, with slopes and climbs that propose high demands to those who compete on its layout, especially in the contracurve. called "Carousel", a fast contracurve located on a slope, where the cars are required to the maximum to avoid forgetfulness.

The remodeling of the circuit was carried out with a view to the organization of the Rosamonte Highway Tourism Grand Prix and was finally inaugurated in 2007. On that occasion, the victory went to the driver from Salto, Guillermo Ortelli, with a Chevrolet Chevy. In addition to Turismo Carretera, this racetrack is the venue for the grand prizes of two of the other three most important categories in the Argentine Republic: Top Race V6 and Turismo Nacional.
