A delegation of officials from Buenos Aires will travel to the Miami Grand Prix to meet with Formula 1 executives and showcase the progress made at the Oscar and Juan Galvez racetrack. The goal is to be prepared for a possible return to the F1 calendar starting in 2027.
The circuit, which is an emblem of Argentine motorsport, is in the midst of renovations to host the MotoGP World Championship early next year. Additionally, negotiations are already underway for an agreement with Formula 1.
In this regard, representatives from the city government and local promoter Grupo OSD will attend the meeting with Liberty Media, the holders of the commercial rights to F1. The meeting aims to present the advancements achieved since the first meeting a year ago in Miami.
Fabian Turnes, secretary of sports for Buenos Aires, commented that all requirements set by F1 officials are being met and that work on the circuit is ongoing. “Now we can show tangible results: the circuit is a reality under construction,” Turnes said.
The renovation plan for the Buenos Aires circuit is divided into two phases. The first phase is aimed at MotoGP, while the second seeks to adapt the circuit for F1, including an extension of the layout to nearly 5 km.
Currently, there is consideration of advancing the F1 works to demonstrate to Liberty Media Argentina’s seriousness in hosting a race. Turnes also mentioned that there are contracts in force that are about to expire, which could open opportunities in the F1 calendar due to the global political situation, especially in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, the dream of once again hosting an F1 race could be set for the 2028 season, according to Turnes. His intention is to present concrete advancements at the Miami meeting and, if construction is expedited, they will be closer to fulfilling this dream of returning to F1.
This return of Formula 1 to Argentina also seeks to capitalize on the momentum created by the recent emergence of Franco Colapinto in competition. With possible demonstrations in F1 races, Argentine passion for motorsport could play a key role in future negotiations.
