¿Vuelve la Fórmula 1?
Un ambicioso proyecto pretende traer a la Máxima a la Argentina. Correría en un complejo automovilístico llamado Velociudad que estará emplazado en Zárate.

Dicen que soñar no cuesta nada. Por eso un grupo de empresarios presentó un ambicioso proyecto que pretende traer a la Fórmula 1 al país. La sede de la carrera no será el autódromo de Buenos Aires, donde la categoría se presentó por última vez en 1998, sino un complejo llamado Velociudad que estará emplazado en la localidad bonaerense de Zárate.

Este impresionante escenario, que costaría más de cien millones de dólares, se realizaría con aportes británicos y argentinos. Los empresarios que están detrás de Velociudad son los Eddie Freedman, Simon Norman y Simon Wagner y los argentinos Carlos Naish y Pablo Kilman.

El complejo estará ubicado en el kilómetro 80 de la autopista Rosario - Buenos Aires, en las afueras de la ciudad de Zárate, en donde ya han comenzado algunos trabajos de movimiento de suelos. Tendrá una pista de 5,5 kilómetros, un centro de exposiciones y un hotel cinco estrellas.

Los responsables de Velociudad prometieron dar más detalles del proyecto durante el Salón del Automóvil de Buenos Aires, que se realizará en La Rural del 17 al 26 de junio

At this article they said that some investors (brtish and argentine) are proyecting a new race track to be located near Buenos Aires to try to get Formula One back to Argentina, the last race here was back in 1998.
Since that there have been a lot of attempts to get a race, thats becaue this is proyect still that this and people dont believe on it


I hope it will come true, i have never seen a f1 gp in my country, and this is a country where races of Turismo Carretera or Tc 2000 have crowds of 100.000 spectators, since some F1 GP have less of 20.000, I hope that f1 return to traditional countries :) :) :flag: :flag: :flag:

Why not go to the San luis track it's amazing...? Didn't FIA GT1 go there or something? If so than it must be FIA standards.

Yeaa they go to San Luis, would be awesome to watch a GP there.

San Luis is FIA Grade 3. Formula One requires FIA Grade 1. It's not just about run off and stuff (San Luis could probably get away with what it has, just), but the facility as a whole.

Ahh righto. But anyway i think they should just upgrade San Luis. Probably would cost less and plus it's probably one of the best tracks in the world imo.

Agreed. It's a fantastic track. I'm trying to find the FIA List of circuits by Grades.

Ta-da!

It's a couple of years out of date, so some tracks will have changed, but the majority should be the same.

Surprising to see how many tracks have 1T grade.

1T means able to host F1 testing?

So many good circuits are Grade 2.

Really don't understand the grading sometimes.

Maybe they can't get the grade 1, because they don't have a place for those stupid giant ass motorhomes, pit garages or state of the art buildings that no one gives a fuck about.

Found a more updated version of the list:

Not a lot of changes, but its interesting to see that the Red Bull Ring is a 1 and Barber is a 1T.

Yeah, fuck the stuff that actually allows them to operate the sport as this level. Just FYI, those motorhomes keep the sponsors money flowing, which is what makes the sport go around.
