About Autódromo Las Vizcachas
Overview
Autódromo Las Vizcachas is a historic racing circuit in Puente Alto, on the south-eastern edge of the Santiago Metropolitan Region, at the foot of the Andean foothills. Opened in 1965, it was for four decades the main home of Chilean circuit racing and drew very large crowds in the 1970s and 1980s. Housing built around the site and the noise limits that came with it first shortened the track and then ended public racing in 2006. Since reopening in 2012 as an advanced driving centre, the circuit has been used mainly for driver training, manufacturer testing, product launches and private track days.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The original long circuit measured about 3 kilometres. In 1992 the eastern half of the land was sold for housing and the track was cut halfway along its main straight. The circuit in use today is a short variant of about 1.6 kilometres with five corners. The 1992 rework also listed an extended circuit of 2.2 kilometres, a 600-metre short track and a 402-metre oval on the same grounds. The lap record on the short variant, 54.002 seconds, was set by Néstor Furlán in a Dallara Alfa Romeo during a South American Formula 3 round in 1989.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
After a 1975 accident on the main straight in which seven spectators and officials were killed, the circuit stayed closed for 1976 and reopened in 1977 with a new wall at the pit area. A large earth bank was raised in 1992 to contain the noise reaching the new houses nearby, and any activity at the circuit remains heavily limited by noise rules. As the Centro de Manejo Avanzado, the venue hosts defensive-driving courses, brand tests and track days rather than public race meetings.
History
The circuit opened on 5 October 1965, with the first meeting organised by the motorsport branch of the Universidad Católica sports club, and Boris Garafulic senior won much of the early racing. In December 1969 the Argentine Turismo Carretera raced here, and Carlos Pairetti won in his Chevrolet-powered Nova Naranja. Through the 1970s and 1980s, Sunday races were shown live on national television and regularly drew more than 15,000 spectators, with Formula 4, later Formula 3, and Turismo Carretera as the main classes, alongside rounds of Formula 2 Codasur and South American Formula 3. Formula 3 championship leader Sergio Santander was killed in a crash on the main straight on 26 September 1987, an accident later seen as the start of the circuit's decline. After 41 years, the last meeting, run by the Club de Automovilismo Carrozado, took place on 10 December 2006, and the venue reopened in 2012 as the Centro de Manejo Avanzado.
