Circuit of the past · Buenos Aires
The autodrome in Buenos Aires, later named after the racing brothers Juan and Oscar Gálvez, hosted the first Argentine Grand Prix in 1953. Juan Manuel Fangio won his home race four years in a row, from 1954 to 1957 — in 1956 in Luigi Musso’s car, which he took over during the race. In 1958 Stirling Moss won here in a Cooper, the first World Championship win for a car with its engine in the back.
The Argentine Grand Prix was held here in three spells: 1953–1960, the 1970s into the early 1980s, and 1995–1998, almost every time on a different layout of the autodrome. In the last spell Damon Hill won twice, in 1995 and 1996, and the final race, in 1998, went to Michael Schumacher.
