Buenos Aires, March 12 (NA) -- TC 2000 kicked off its 2026 season with a presentation in the heart of the city and announced the Ciudad de Buenos Aires Grand Prix, which will take place this weekend on a street circuit in Villa Soldati. The category held a parade of race cars along 9 de Julio Avenue and concluded the route at the Obelisk, where drivers, organizers, and authorities inaugurated an event expected to draw thousands of people with free entry in various sectors. The parade started at the headquarters of the Argentine Automobile Club on Avenida del Libertador and served as a preview of the show that will unfold in the south of the city. It was spectacular to hear the TC2000 engines in the heart of the capital; we invite you to enjoy a show for the whole family. The race will be held on a 2.509-kilometer urban circuit that will connect General Roca and Escalada avenues with a section of the City Park.
