Autódromo Juan Manuel Fangio is a motorsports circuit located near Balcarce, Argentina. The track was named after five-time Formula One World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio, who was born in Balcarce.
The circuit was inaugurated in 1972 with a race for Group 6 sport prototypes, and was won by Englishman John Hine in a Chevron B19.[1]
In 2011, Guido Falaschi was fatally injured in a multi-car crash during a Turismo Carretera event.[2] After this, the circuit was abandoned by Argentina's top national championships and lay mostly dormant aside from a domestic rallycross round in 2019.[3] In May 2023, the Buenos Aires Province government allocated AR$580 million to upgrading the circuit to meet FIA standards.[4]
