The Argentine Grand Prix is changing course and will be moving to Buenos Aires from 2027. The Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez, a legendary venue from the 60s, 80s, and 90s, is set to be reborn thanks to a massive renovation to welcome the stars of MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3. After a one-year hiatus in 2026, Argentinian fans can already get excited about seeing the world's best riders compete in the capital...
Jorge Macri, head of the government of Buenos Aires, does not hide his pride: " We are consolidating our city's sporting leadership at the world level. The most important category of motorcycle racing returns to Gálvez. We have hosted ten Grand Prix, and Almost 30 years later, we will once again be among the greatest circuits in the world, like Barcelona and Silverstone ».
« From October, We will undertake a complete renovation of the circuit, which will include work on the track, pits, paddock, and safety zones, incorporating the latest technology. With this investment in infrastructure, safety, logistics, and connectivity, we will bring the venue up to international standards. The arrival of MotoGP in the city means the arrival of an elite competition, with the most important international teams and riders, which will be enjoyed by approximately 150 000 people on the track and millions of viewers via television and streaming in over 200 territories"
Orly Terranova, CEO of Grupo OSD, has big plans for Argentina: “ What does it mean for Argentina to have MotoGP at the Gálvez circuit from 2027? This is a milestone for the city of Buenos Aires. An event has emerged for one of the most important motorsports, which will contribute greatly to the development of local sport and to a lot of tourism. This is something that several capitals of different countries are fighting over, so I think it's important. And it will have a huge impact on the economy and on tourism »
