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.
