Autódromo Monterrey, Motorsport racing track in Apodaca, Mexico.
Autódromo Monterrey is a racetrack in Apodaca, Nuevo León, in the Monterrey metropolitan area, facing Del Norte International Airport. Its long straight is used for drag racing and leads into a chicane and a hairpin; turns 1 and 6 were added later. A second course, El Frijol, is a 1.600 km dogleg oval with a flat first turn and a banked second.
Autódromo Monterrey was inaugurated in 1970 by Filiberto Jiménez, next to Del Norte International Airport. In the 1970s the 500 km of Monterrey was the circuit's main event. The chicane at turn 1 and turn 6 were added later; the original last curve was a banking turn, now used in the short layout.
The track hosts NASCAR México, drag racing, karting and Volks races, and its second course, El Frijol, is named for its bean shape. The 500 km of Monterrey was the circuit's main event in the 1970s. The oval emblem at the entrance shows a red A over a grey M beside the words Autodromo MONTERREY above a checkered band.
The circuit sits directly opposite Del Norte International Airport in Apodaca, on the eastern edge of the Monterrey metropolitan area. Access is by road from the Monterrey–Reynosa highway corridor. The long straight doubles as the drag strip, while the short layout uses the original banked final curve; the El Frijol oval runs 1.600 km with a flat first turn and a banked second.
Autódromo Monterrey features an oval track known as El Frijol, named after its bean-shaped design, which hosts various racing disciplines alongside the main road course and drag strip.
