Circuito Callejero de Buenos Aires, Street Circuit

The Autódromo Juan y Oscar Alfredo Gálvez in Buenos Aires was built as a public works project by President Juan Perón, originally named Autódromo 17 de Octubre. It was later renamed in honour of racing brothers Juan and Oscar Alfredo Gálvez. The circuit is the only Argentine venue to host Formula One and currently hosts national competitions like Turismo Carretera, Super TC2000, and TCR South America. Construction began in the Lugano district on the outskirts of the city, designed to high standards with 10 possible layout variations. Its entrance features a large white arch named after Almirante William Brown. The first meeting on March 9, 1952, included the Perón Cup, won by Fangio on Circuit No. 4. A tragic Grand Prix in 1953 on Circuit No. 2 resulted in nine deaths and over 40 injuries after a car slid into spectators. Despite a period of neglect, the circuit is now receiving welcome investment from city authorities.
