When was the track built?
Built in 1992, it has been used mainly for national events including the Peruvian 6 hours; it has been now overshadowed by La Chutana, but thanks to the new Formula One Organization, the big desert area around the track will be exploited to extend and refurbish it, with a 4.6km multilayout course designed by me, and to make it the second FIA Grade-1 permanent circuit in the country.
When was its first Grand Prix?
It will be the first ever Formula 1 GP in this country.
It’s one of the two circuits in the Peru that will rotate for the eight spot of the South American Continental Series.
What’s the circuit like?
A fast one, with four full-throttle sections and plenty of overtaking spots, especially in the first two start-and-stop sectors, which are uphill, gaining 40 metres from the starting line, which are evened in the steep downhill straight between Turn 11 and Turn 13.
The final bit is slower, with a triple chicane inspired by the “Triangle” in Singapore from the past, which will be extremely challenging coming after the descent.
Where is it located?
Around 20km south of Tacna, just 30km north of the border with Chile, where the closest International airport is located, in Chacalluta. (- 18°06’44”, – 70°18’36”)
