Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo is a motorsport circuit located in Termas de Río Hondo, Argentina. It has hosted events in the TC2000, Turismo Carretera and Formula Renault series. The track was to host the Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix in 2013, [1] but the safety of the Repsol Honda team due to the parent company cancelling gas exports to Argentina forced the event's postponement to 2014. [2]
After a complete overhaul and rebuild process based on design by the italian circuit designer Jarno Zaffelli [3], in 2013 will host official tests of MotoGP [4][5] and Rounds 15 and 16 of World Touring Car Championship, thanks to the recent homologation from Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme and Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile [6].
