About Autódromo Internacional de Termas de Río Hondo
Overview
Autódromo Internacional de Termas de Río Hondo is a permanent road circuit in Santiago del Estero province in northern Argentina, about 6 kilometres from the spa town that gives it its name. It occupies a 150-hectare site on the shore of the Río Hondo reservoir and was built by the provincial government. The circuit holds FIA Grade 2 and FIM Grade A homologation and is best known abroad for the Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix, which it hosted from 2014. The circuit hosts Turismo Carretera, TC Pista, Turismo Nacional, TCR South America and the GP3 Argentina and Chile motorcycle championships, as well as track days run by Track Day Argentina for road cars.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The current layout, designed by the Italian engineer Jarno Zaffelli, measures 4,805 metres and has 14 corners, nine to the right and five to the left. The track is 16 metres wide along its whole length, and its longest straight runs to about 1,070 metres. The redesign added a new section after the first corner, banked towards the inside of the track, and cut the back straight by almost 300 metres. Further round the lap a climbing section takes a gentle curve and counter-curve and ends in a blind corner before the long final curve. The asphalt was relaid with a polymer-modified surface, and the rebuild added track-side irrigation, drainage to stop standing water, and run-off areas suited to motorcycle racing.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The pit building has room for seventy vehicles and was rebuilt, together with the media centre and main grandstand, after a fire in February 2021. The race control room is linked to cameras around the circuit through a fibre-optic network, and the control tower and the circuit hospital survived the fire intact. An automobile museum with historic racing exhibits opened inside the circuit at the end of 2012 and sits at the far end of the pit lane. The site has parking for around 25,000 vehicles and is reached from National Route 9 and the avenue that leads to the lake.
History
The first circuit opened on 11 May 2008 with a round of the Turismo Carretera that drew more than 65,000 spectators. Emanuel Moriatis won that race in a Ford Falcon over 25 laps of the original 4,275-metre track, a fast layout with nine corners and a back straight of 1,340 metres. After an inspection by Dorna, almost everything was rebuilt from 2012 to meet FIA and FIM requirements, and the new circuit reopened on 19 May 2013 with a Turismo Carretera race won by Mauro Giallombardo. The World Touring Car Championship raced on the new track that August, when José María López won on his debut, and returned every year until 2017. MotoGP teams tested in July 2013, and on 27 April 2014 the world championship returned to Argentina after fifteen years, with Marc Márquez winning. Valentino Rossi won the following year, and by official figures more than 250,000 people attended the first two events. The Grand Prix ran until 2019 and again in 2022, 2023 and 2025.
