History

The circuit was opened in March 1978, extended in 1981, and the last corner was tightened in 1988.[1][2]

It was closed in 2010. Following a decades' dormancy, the circuit was restored between 2016 and 2020, redesigned by Leonardo Stella (who also designed the Circuito San Juan Villicum), and it was re-opened in 2020 with the first race of the Turismo Nacional on February 21–23.[1][3]
