# Closure of Roberto José Mouras Autodrome > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/closure-of-roberto-jos-mouras-autodrome > Updated: 2026-09-18T20:30:07.000Z. Sources: 11. Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-18: Roberto José Mouras Autodrome closed for 180 days due to safety risks The Roberto José Mouras Autodrome in La Plata has been closed for 180 days due to severe electrical, structural, and environmental safety violations discovered during a judicial investigation. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/roberto-jos-mouras-autodrome-closed-for-180-days-due-to-safety-risks ### 2026-09-12: Autódromo Roberto Mouras closed by police in La Plata The Roberto Mouras Racetrack in La Plata has been closed by Federal Police due to administrative irregularities, suspending multiple racing categories and threatening the Turismo Carretera season finale. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/autdromo-roberto-mouras-closed-by-police-in-la-plata --- Cite as: Closure of Roberto José Mouras Autodrome.
