Mexico City is ready to host NASCAR and IndyCar races.

      The promoters of the Mexico City Grand Prix are also ready to hold NASCAR and IndyCar rounds at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez and have indicated that these races will not take place next year, primarily because Mexico is preparing to host World Cup matches in 2026.

      However, the organizers of both American series must, for their part, take a more active stance and prepare the necessary infrastructure, which would allow them to target the 2027 season.

      In June a NASCAR race took place in Mexico City, but it will not return to the circuit next year; meanwhile IndyCar is in talks about a round in the Mexican capital, but no agreement has been reached yet.

      "The NASCAR race went great, it was a spectacular event," said Alejandro Soberon, promoter of the Mexico City Grand Prix and CEO of CIE Group. "I think this can be developed further. Next year it will be difficult to do that because the World Cup influences the scheduling in a certain way, but I think IndyCar and NASCAR have great potential in Mexico. We need to take advantage of the fact that there is a whole army of wonderful fans here, so we can expect news related to 2027."

      "We are negotiating with NASCAR and IndyCar, but they will have to work in our region," added Federico Gonzalez Compean, managing director of the Mexico City Grand Prix. "Nothing will happen if you hope they will just come into this market and everything will suddenly fall into place.

      One of the topics discussed was our proposal that they open an office here. They need to work in this region, develop it, because if you don't do that, there won't be any miracles. I believe this is a completely different market, and each of these races should have its own individual characteristics, its own ticket pricing policy, its own approaches. The approaches used in Formula 1 will not work. That's my opinion."
