Is This Event Right For You?
Best fit if you value motorsport heritage — world's oldest continuously active auto racing series since 1937, 20th edition at Termas since 2008 circuit inauguration, Argentina's most popular domestic championship.
Best fit if you enjoy championship racing — Round 5 of 15-race season, 4.430-meter short circuit features extensive 1300-meter straight enabling side-by-side racing, multiple overtaking opportunities with 16-meter track width.
Best fit if you like passionate fan atmosphere — 50,000-spectator capacity draws Argentina's largest TC crowds, children under 10 enter free, family-friendly environment with camping and grandstand options, broadcast live nationally on Canal 9.
Not ideal if you prefer internationally-focused events — domestic Argentine championship with Spanish-language commentary and limited international press coverage, paddock and driver communications primarily in Spanish, focuses on national motorsport culture.
