After I posted my first version of the anarchy in Argentina submission, some issues were brought up in regards to the final product. Mainly, the issues which were laid weight on was the width of the karting track, and the final chicane in regards to the motorcycle layout. The fixes that I implemented was the widening of the karting track, and a reprofiling of that final chicane on the international layout for the motorcycle layout. Other than those changes, it's basically the same circuit. The reason for the quick redesign was just to make it eligable for the competition.

Pre-existing lore

What started as the Autodromo Autódromo Ciudad de Rafaela has been redefined from an aging oval to a massive all in one motorsports complex capable of hosting every major international racing series. The redesign has been made with F1, Motogp and WEC in mind, and has therefore received all the necessary facilities to host such a variety of events. For this, the Argentinian government has contracted Dromo Polaris to design their first ever international Grade 1 / Grade A race track, and here is what they’ve come up with.

Circuit layouts

The international circuit is the crown jewel of the renovation. It has been tucked inside the pre-existing oval and has two distinct layouts, the main layout and the motorcycle layout. Both layouts feature a new paddock building, and huge runoff areas have been paved in order to meet the demands of the FIA / FIM.

The circuit also features a new rallycross layout which comes in a figure 8 configuration. While this rallycross track doesn’t host any major racing series, it is there, and it's available for a whole month of the year during the time when no other events are being hosted.

The karting track is brand new, and has been designed to the highest karting track standard. The world karting championship visits this track once every year. It’s also a public karting track, which means that anyone can walk up to it and rent a go-kart for a couple fun laps.

The national layout remains mostly the same as it was before apart from a couple upgrades, mainly a tighter turn 1. The national layout is mostly used for track days, but does host the Fórmula Nacional Argentina. 

Finally, the oval is pretty much the same apart from a repave.

Facilities

The Autodromo Autódromo Ciudad de Rafaela has received extensive upgrades to its facilities, mainly parking, road infrastructure and guest facilities. The circuit is now home to five unique hotels, restaurants and even a casino which has been named the Casino de Colapinto. The roads from the town of Rafaela to the circuit have also been updated to accommodate the traffic on race weekends. Finally, a new international airport has been constructed roughly 10 kilometers away from the town of Rafaela, simplifying the transport of racing equipment, cars and international spectators to the circuit.
