The Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires is undergoing a broad upgrade ahead of Argentina’s return to MotoGP in 2027. The venue will host round four of the season, staging its first Grand Prix since 1999, while work is progressing on both the racing surface and the surrounding facilities.

Three asphalt layers and a new route into the circuit

The resurfacing project uses three separate layers. Work on the first has already begun across roughly two kilometres of track, while the final layer is intended to be ready for World Championship motorcycles on 11 April.

A new access tunnel is being built beneath Turn 1. It extends for more than 400 metres and has two lanes, allowing World Championship trucks and teams to enter and leave at the same time when necessary. The redevelopment also includes refurbished grandstands and finishing work in the pit boxes, adding significant infrastructure changes to the return of the race itself.

A South American sequence

Argentina’s round will come immediately after the Brazilian Grand Prix at Goiania, producing consecutive MotoGP events in South America. Two weeks later, the championship will move on to the Circuit of the Americas in Austin.

The Buenos Aires project also supports a larger ambition: bringing Argentina back to the Formula 1 calendar. The 2027 F1 schedule is already defined, but the city still hopes the circuit could eventually serve as a reserve venue for Formula 1.
