Gran Premio del Sur



The Gran Premio del Sur (Southern Grand Prix) was a motorsport competition held three times between 1938 and 1942, on public roads in southern Argentina and Chile.

This competition, which was held with Turismo Carretera cars, was created as a complement to the Road Grand Prix that was organized annually by the Automóvil Club Argentino (ACA) and which generally took place on roads in the north of the country.

Interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War, the last edition took place in 1942.

History

 * No edition had official numbering, but the 1938 and 1939 editions were included in the retrospective count of the Road Grand Prix editions carried out by ACA in 1951, to which the numbers XXI and XXIII were assigned respectively. Not so in 1942, which was not organized by ACA, but by a local commission from Esquel.
