History

In 2012, the stadium hosted arguably its most significant event to date, when it held the final two rounds of the 2012 Speedway Under-21 World Championship on the 3 and 10 November respectively.[3] [4]

The stadium also hosts rounds of both versions of the Argentine Individual Speedway Championship; the Campeonato Argentino de Speedway (the winter national championships) and the Campeonato Internacional Argentino (the summer International Championships).[5]

The popularity of speedway in the area has increased since 2020, which has led to the construction of two large stands on the home and back straights.[6]
