The Termas de Rio Hondo will host the Argentina GP for three more years after an agreement is reached just ahead of the 2016 race.
After three hugely successful and popular events in Argentina, the contract extension was announced on the 3rd of April. In 2014 close to 126,000 fans visited the circuit for the first even, over 130,000 fans coming the following year.
The agreement was reached between Dorna Sports, the Argentinian Tourism Minister, the Santiago del Estero Government and OSD, the promoter of the event.
