Termas de Río Hondo race winners

As is common in Argentina, the Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo was built by the local government at a cost of 144 million pesos to attract the country’s top touring car series’.

The circuit opened in 2008 with a 4.35 kilometre layout, one of the longest in the country, and the original layout sported a long 1.3 km main back straight.

The lack of pitlane facilities was addressed with a major redesign in 2012, which also saw the circuit extended by half a kilometre with a new Turn 2, 3 and 4 section.

This saw the length of the back straight reduced, whilst the old Turn 6 to 7 were reprofiled to become a new Turn 9 through to 11 with a less flowing layout. The entire circuit was also resurfaced.

The redesign succeeded in attracting MotoGP to the track as its top bill, although it did attract World Touring Cars for 2013.

That event saw José María López join the field as a wildcard entry, an act which would open a new chapter in international touring car racing as he secured a plum factory Citroën drive off the back of that race-winning performance – and went on to lift the 2014, 2015 and 2016 WTCC titles as a result.

The WTCC visited for five years until 2017, and the FIA WTCR was originally set to visit in 2018 before being canned due to economic difficulties in the country.

Since then, the circuit has relied on Súper TC2000 and Turismo Carretera for its top tin-top action, although TCR South America has also begun to visit the circuit since 2022.

A major fire occurred in February 2021, resulting in the pit building having to be completely rebuilt and preventing any racing action that year.
