Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo is a motorsportcircuit located in Termas de Río Hondo, Argentina. The circuit was created in 2007 and underwent a complete overhaul and rebuild process in 2012, based on design by the Italian circuit designer Jarno Zaffelli. The circuit hosted the 2014 Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix on April 27, bringing Grand Prix motorcycle racing back to Argentina after fifteen years. In 2013, the circuit also hosted Rounds 15 and 16 of the FIA WTCC Race of Argentina of the World Touring Car Championship, and the first MotoGP and Moto2 official tests. The track was to host the Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix in 2013, but the government's nationalization Repsol local subsidiary and the ensuing cancellation of gas exports to Argentina raised concerns for the safety of the Repsol-sponsored Honda MotoGP team, forcing a one year postponement. In previous years, the circuit has also hosted events in the TC2000, Turismo Carretera and Formula Renault series.
