After nearly three decades, the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires will once again host the MotoGP World Championship in 2027. The return of the most important category in international motorcycle racing was confirmed along with the city's designation as World Capital of Sport that same year. The competition will take place at the Oscar y Juan Gálvez racetrack, which will undergo a comprehensive renovation.
The Buenos Aires government is planning a complete modernization of the track, aiming not only to meet the requirements of the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM), but also to obtain FIA Grade 1 homologation, necessary to host Formula 1 in the future. The new circuit will be approximately 5,000 meters (3.11 miles) and will combine elements from the historic Circuits 6 and 8, with improvements in safety, services, and access.
Among the most notable modifications, iconic sections such as the Viborita and the Senna S will be eliminated, although the names of classic corners will be preserved. Half of the current Circuit 12 will remain unchanged, including the Curvón Salotto and the Ascari Chicane. Barriers, curbs, electronic systems, and drainage will also be renewed.
