Autódromo de Tocancipá is a motor racing circuit located in Tocancipá, Cundinamarca, Colombia. It is the official headquarters of the 6 Hours of Bogotá, Campeonato Nacional de Automovilismo (CNA), and TC2000 Colombia.
Based on an idea launched in 1980, Autódromo de Tocancipá was inaugurated on 7 February 1982, two years after Autódromo Ricardo Mejía was demolished.[1] [2]
The record for the fastest average speed over a race lap was achieved by the Colombian Óscar Tunjo with a time of 1:01:262 and on average during the qualifying sessions of the 2014 edition.[3] [4] It was previously held for nineteen years by his compatriot, Juan Pablo Montoya, with a time of 1:02:077 and on average, achieved during the 1995 edition.[5]
On the nearby Kartódromo Juan Pablo Montoya, an annual kart race takes place, bringing together many international drivers each year.[6]
Autódromo de Tocancipá is normally raced in a clockwise direction; however, 6 Hours of Bogotá is raced in a counterclockwise direction.[2]
