Argentina hosts several motor racing events in August

The TC2000 series altered its qualifying format for the sixth round at Toay, reinstating Q1 and Q2 sessions for the first time since December 2024. The change also introduced a rule that drivers causing a red flag in Q1 cannot re‑enter the track for the remainder of that session.

Javier Merlo joined the official Honda YPF Racing team for the same Toay weekend, piloting a Honda ZR‑V SUV alongside teammate Facundo Aldrighetti.

In Aldea Romana, the inaugural day of the 2026 Invernal de Midgets championship featured 118 drivers, with Luciano Franchi leading the ranking and ticket prices ranging from 7,000 to 15,000 pesos.

The Turismo Nacional series held its seventh round at San Juan Villicum, where Agustín Canapino secured his fourth victory of the season in the Chevrolet Cruze, while Bautista Damiani finished seventh.

Arequito in Santa Fe hosted the fifth round of the 2026 Rally Santafesino, a 100.56‑km event split into eight special stages, crucial for the championship’s second half.

Elsewhere, Chile’s Kartódromo Valentino staged the fifth round of its regional karting championship with 40 drivers, and Costa Rica’s National Winter Karting Championship opened with multiple category wins after a series of dramatic overtakes and penalties.
