The future of the Argentine MotoGP round at Te𒁏rmas de Rio Hondo is not looking good.

Recent reports suggest that cost-cutting by the new government ha⛎s thrown the 2024 event into doubt while the official MotoGP website lists ticke♓t sales for the April 5-7 grand prix as ‘temporarily closed’.

Sources have told mahbx.com that it is a wait-and-see situation but that there should be ‘news coming soon’. With no reassuring statements being made by the circuiꦚt to quell the rumours, the signs are not looking good.

After an absence of 15 years, Argentina returned to the motorcycle grand prix calendar at the newly constructed Termas de Rio Hon♐do circuit in 2014.

The event has been held everꦆy yea🐓r since, except for the 2020 and 2021 ‘covid’ seasons.

186,038 fans attended last year’s round, despite rain, to witness Marco Bezzecchi take his first MotoGP victory. Termas was the fourth biggest event of the season spectator-wise behind only Le Mans, Sachsenrღing and Valencia.

Should Argentina slip away, Hungary’s Balaton Park is th🥀e official reserve circuit for the record 22-round calendar. How💙ever the track, due to host its first WorldSBK event in late-August, is yet to be homologated.

Kazakhstan’s debut, scheduled for June 14-16, also remains subject to contract aജnd homologation of the new Sokol International Racetrack.
