Autódromo Ciudad de Concepción del Uruguay, Racing Circuit

Autódromo de Concepción del Uruguay is a modern circuit in Argentina, opened in 2014, that quickly became a nationally significant racing venue. It hosts major Argentine championships like Turismo Carretera, Top Race, and TC2000. The facility features an impressive 900-metre straight where Turismo Carretera stock cars reach 240 km/h, complemented by quick switchbacks and technical sections. Beyond the main circuit, it includes a kart track for junior talent development, making it a comprehensive motorsport destination. The circuit was developed from a vision by Francisco Tamay, securing 125 hectares of municipal land. Provincial backing and ACTC engineers ensured professional standards during construction. Christian Ledesma won the inaugural Turismo Carretera race on May 18, 2014. In November 2016, a tornado caused significant damage, but recovery efforts reinforced its position in Argentine motorsport. Recent FIA Grade 3-standard upgrades have enhanced safety provisions. The current Turismo Carretera lap record is 1:25.102, set by Germán Todino in a Ford Mustang Mach 1.
