Autódromo Internacional de Codegua, race track in Codegua, Chile
The Autódromo Internacional de Codegua is a racing track in the O'Higgins region, about 45 minutes south of Santiago. The track stretches over 4 kilometers with 14 turns and combines tight corners with long straightaways to challenge drivers in different racing formats.
The project was driven by the private group Inversiones La Estancilla with an investment of about 20 million dollars. Construction began in 2012 and the circuit was inaugurated on 13 November 2014, with motorcyclist Francisco "Chaleco" López among the guests. That same year it hosted a round of the Argentine Súper TC 2000 and of Formula Renault Argentina. A September 2014 environmental inspection found faults in the noise barriers, leading to a temporary closure on 5 November 2014 before it reopened under restricted operating conditions.
The circuit has hosted the Campeonato Histórico de Velocidad since 2018 and the Copa Porsche Carrera since 2019, alongside Formula Total and TP Race. The grandstand's white steel lattice carries a cantilevered roof with a dark red surface and scalloped white fascia, and a zigzag staircase climbs its left side.
The track sits just off Highway 5, about 45 minutes from Santiago airport and is easily reached by car. On race days, arriving early is wise since parking areas fill quickly and the facility has limited amenities, so plan food and drink accordingly.
The track sometimes opens for private driving experiences where motorsport enthusiasts can take their own vehicles onto the circuit. This makes it appealing not just for spectators but also for drivers wanting to test their skills on a professional course.
