The Argentina Grand Prix progresses as the reconstruction reaches 10 percent completion.

      A complete reconstruction is currently underway.

      Argentina's effort to rejoin the Formula 1 calendar is gaining traction, as construction has commenced at the historic circuit in Buenos Aires. According to reports from Soy Motor and others, the renovation of the Autodromo Oscar y Juan Galvez is approximately 10 percent finished, with organizers aiming for completion by the end of the year in anticipation of MotoGP's return in 2027.

      The redevelopment is substantial, with many existing structures, including pit buildings, grandstands, the paddock, and much of the old asphalt surface, already demolished. A full reconstruction is in progress, which includes the installation of GIMA high-polymer asphalt—identical to the specification used at contemporary Formula 1 venues.

      In its initial phase, the circuit aims to achieve FIA Grade 2 status before progressing to full Grade 1 homologation—a requirement for hosting Formula 1—along with a reconfigured layout and longer straights. Present plans suggest that Formula 1 could return as early as 2028, potentially alongside the Brazilian GP to help with logistics.

      This renewed initiative follows an increase in national interest spurred by Franco Colapinto's introduction to Formula 1, although the Argentine driver himself noted last year that returning to F1 would be "somewhat more challenging" than MotoGP due to the extensive changes needed. Argentina last hosted a Formula 1 race in 1998, which was won by Michael Schumacher.
