Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is a prominent motorsport racetrack located in Mexico City, Mexico. With a capacity of approximately 110,000 spectators, the circuit has hosted numerous major racing events, including the Formula One Mexican Grand Prix, which returned to the track in 2015 after a 23-year absence. It is also a venue for other racing series, such as the FIA World Endurance Championship, NASCAR, and the FIA Formula 4 NACAM Championship. The circuit is named after the famous Mexican racing drivers Ricardo Rodríguez de la Vega and his brother Pedro Rodríguez de la Vega, who achieved international acclaim in Formula One and endurance racing during the 1960s and early 1970s.
Ricardo Rodríguez tragically lost his life at the age of 20 during the 1962 Mexican Grand Prix, the same year the circuit opened. Pedro Rodríguez also died in a racing accident in 1971.
One of the unique features of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is the Peraltada Corner, a high-speed banked turn at the end of the lap. The corner was slightly reconfigured in recent years -winding through the old Foro Sol baseball stadium – but still retains its challenging nature.
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is located at a high altitude of approximately 2,285 meters (7,500 feet) above sea level, making it one of the highest Formula One circuits in the world. The high altitude poses unique challenges for both the cars and drivers, as the reduced air density affects engine performance and aerodynamics. The Mexican Grand Prix has consistently attracted large crowds, with thousands of enthusiastic fans attending the race weekend festivities in this vibrant city.
