Autódromo Internacional El Jabalí, Motor racing circuit in El Salvador

The Autódromo Internacional El Jabalí is a racing track in San Juan Opico measuring about 3250 meters in length. It features straight sections and curves with a smooth surface designed for high-speed racing and technical driving with cars and motorcycles.

The circuit was founded in 1974 by Autodromos de El Salvador S.A. with the Automóvil Club de El Salvador and FIA representative Robert Langford. The roughly 100-hectare property was bought on 3 December 1976, architect Oscar Monedero designed the layout, and construction began in March 1978. It opened on 18 February 1979 with the Gran Premio Delta, the first permanent racetrack in Central America.

The name comes from the El Jabalí hill directly north of the circuit, not from local wildlife. Since 2015 the promoter Guerra De Motores has run its official drag championship on the 1/4-mile strip, using a professional traffic-light timing system. The 200 km El Salvador endurance race, extended from 100 km in 2012, draws 46 drivers from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

The location is easily accessible from the capital San Salvador and sits on a main road near Quezaltepeque. Visitors should arrive early on race days to secure good spots and enjoy the full experience of the events.

The circuit's name comes from the El Jabalí hill directly north of the track, a young inactive volcano belonging to the San Salvador volcanic complex; the track itself lies on the slopes of El Playón. The 1,100 m main straight is used for only 800 m in quarter-mile drag events. The official quarter-mile record, 11.18 seconds, was set by Guatemalan driver Aldrin Franco in a turbocharged Honda Civic EF.
