The second round of the MotoGP season took the championship back to Termas de Río Hondo after a two-year absence for the Argentina GP. However, the future of the track—and the country – on the calendar remains highly uncertain.
The current contract expires this year and has not yet been renewed. Meanwhile, talks are ongoing with the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires, which recently hosted a visit from Dorna. However, the circuit is undergoing renovations and requires extensive upgrades to meet MotoGP standards.
Termas de Río Hondo seems unlikely to remain on the MotoGP calendar, but Argentina’s presence as a whole is also in question – especially with the Brazilian GP set to debut in 2026.
With high demand for slots on the calendar and the schedule already at its limit, regional race allocation is a challenge. From 2027, the number of Iberian rounds will be reduced, further complicating the situation.
Beyond contractual issues, there may simply be no room for Argentina next year, as both India and Brazil are expected to return without another race being removed from the current schedule.
