Carrera de los Millones Returns to Rafaela With a Record 15 Million‑Peso Prize

Its full Nueva Generación grid will race the high‑speed oval, prompting teams to prioritize low downforce setups as organizers hold special safety briefings before the final.

Overview

  • Thousands of fans poured into the Autódromo Ciudad de Rafaela after gates opened on Friday, filling the circuit and city for a three‑day festival of track action and public events.
  • Organizers confirmed a 55‑car Turismo Carretera entry list for the weekend and staged city presentations and parades to mark the category’s return after a 2025 absence.
  • Race promoters announced a record 15 million‑peso prize for the winner of the Carrera de los Millones, the largest payout in the event’s history.
  • Teams say Rafaela’s long straights make low aerodynamic load and engine power decisive, and the ACTC ran special drivers’ safety briefings because the oval leaves little margin for error.
  • On‑track storylines range from record chases — four drivers can equal Fabián Acuña’s three Rafaela wins — to the ongoing effort by teams to learn how the Nueva Generación cars behave on the historic oval.
