South American Motorsport
Explore the racing circuits and off-road venues of South America: from Interlagos and the São Paulo Grand Prix to MotoGP in Goiânia, Argentina’s historic autódromos, Brazil’s Stock Car venues and the gravel roads of the continent’s world championship rallies.
South America has produced Formula 1 world champions from Juan Manuel Fangio to Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna, and racing runs deep in its culture. Brazil’s Stock Car Pro Series and Argentina’s Turismo Carretera fill grandstands through the season, Interlagos hosts the São Paulo Grand Prix, and MotoGP returned to Brazil in 2026. The continent is just as strong away from the tarmac, with World Rally Championship rounds in Paraguay and Chile and long-distance rally raids across Argentina and Brazil.
This directory introduces 25 circuits and off-road venues across six countries, chosen because they are active today and people regularly search for them. We have kept the list to venues that meet that bar rather than padding it out. Each entry gives you the essentials at a glance: where it is, what kind of venue it is, how long a lap or route is and which major series race there. Detailed AutoGathering pages for each circuit, covering history, layouts, events and visitor information, will be linked from here as they are published.
The venues are not ranked. They are grouped by country and discipline and can be filtered by country, type and series, so the aim is discovery rather than a league table.
Eight circuits and events with international profiles and busy calendars. They appear again in their sections below with full details.
