MotoGP’s Grand Prix of Argentina will return to familiar surroundings from 2027, when the race moves back to Buenos Aires.
It will be the first time since 1999 that the capital city has hosted the race - which has been held in Termas de Rio Hondo since 2014.
Work is planned to fully renovate Autodromo Oscar y Juan Galvez, an arena which welcomed MotoGP throughout the 60s, 80s and 90s.
The track layout is also being updated.
Chief of Government of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri, is determined for the city to produce one of the "world’s leading circuits".
Speaking after the announcement, he said: "We are consolidating our city's sporting leadership on a global level.
"The most important category of motorcycle racing returns to Galvez. We have hosted ten Grands Prix, and almost 30 years later, we will once again be among the world's leading circuits, like Barcelona and Silverstone.
"Starting in October, we will undertake a comprehensive renovation of the circuit, which includes work on the track, pits, paddock and safety zones, incorporating the latest technology.
