Closure of Roberto José Mouras Autodrome

Overview

The Roberto José Mouras Autodrome in La Plata has been closed by order of Federal Justice following investigations into administrative, safety, and environmental irregularities.

Initial reports indicated the closure was due to permit issues and track conditions, resulting in the suspension of several racing categories such as A.L.M.A., AVZ, Fórmula 5, and TC 2000 Platense. The investigation, led by prosecutor María Eugenia Di Lorenzo, followed a previous raid in May concerning environmental crimes and fuel storage.

Subsequent findings by the Argentine Federal Police detailed severe hazards, including 13 electrical irregularities—eight of which are classified as high risk—and inoperative fire suppression systems. The facility also faces scrutiny for structural deterioration in the grandstands and improper hazardous waste management, including the illegal stockpiling of used tires. Judge Marcela Garmendia ratified a 180-day preventive closure, disrupting major events including the Turismo Carretera season finale and Formula One Argentina.
