Autodromo Víctor Borrat Fabini is a motor racing circuit in El Pinar, Uruguay, located 31 km (19 mi) from Montevideo.[1] It was inaugurated on 14 October 1956. The circuit features various layout configurations. The circuit currently hosts TCR World Tour, TCR South America Touring Car Championship and national championships, however it also hosted some other continental championships and Argentinian motorsport championships in the past. In 1999, "Gota de Agua" corner was discontinued, and "Beco" corner was built in the inner side of circuit. In 2017, the circuit was extended and discontinued "Gota de Agua" corner section was reasphalted.[2]

Besides hosting some continental and national championships, it was also announced that the circuit would host its first intercontinental event TCR World Tour in 18–20 August 2023.[3] For this event, the circuit was renovated and the layout was extended approximately 0.500 km (0.311 mi).[4][5]
