Automotive and motorsport events in Argentina

Overview

Argentina is scheduled to host two significant automotive and motorsport events in 2026.

From August 31 to September 2, the Automóvil Club Argentino (ACA) will host the 2026 FIA American Congress in Buenos Aires. The gathering will include FIA President Mohammed ben Sulayem and representatives from over 35 regional clubs to discuss motorsport development, safety, sustainable mobility, and road infrastructure. President Javier Milei is expected to inaugurate the congress and use the event to lobby FIA officials for the return of Formula 1 to Argentina, a sport the country has not hosted since 1998. Efforts to secure a Grand Prix include renovations at the Oscar y Juan Gálvez Autodrome to achieve FIA Grade 1 certification, a push bolstered by the rising popularity of driver Franco Colapinto.

Additionally, AAERPA has announced the XVI National Congress of Automotive Registrars, set for October 15 and 16, 2026, at the Universidad Católica Argentina in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires. This congress will focus on “The future of the Registry: innovation, legal certainty, and institutional trust,” specifically addressing the digitalization of procedures, regulatory changes, and the modernization of automotive registry services to maintain legal security and public confidence.
