Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
Encyclopedia
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez ("Rodríguez Brothers Racetrack") is a 4.421 km (2.7 mi) race track in Mexico City
, Mexico
, named for the famous racing drivers Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez
. The circuit got its name shortly after it opened when Ricardo Rodríguez
died in practice for the non-Championship 1962 Mexican Grand Prix
. Ricardo's brother Pedro
also lost his life behind the wheel years later).
Built in a public park in 1962, the circuit hosted its first Formula One
Grand Prix
the same year, as a non-Championship race. The following year the Mexican Grand Prix
became a full World Championship event. The circuit remained part of the F1 calendar through 1970, when spectator overcrowding caused unsafe conditions. When the track re-opened in 1986, the circuit boasted a new pit complex, as well as improved safety all around. The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez (as of 2011) has been the only venue for the Mexican Grand Prix.
The circuit is located within the public park of the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City
in northeast Mexico City
. The circuit is owned by the Government of the City, but is currently operated under concession by Corporación Interamericana de Entretenimiento, S.A. de C.V. or CIE, through OCESA, one of CIE's subsidiaries. CIE also organizes the NASCAR
and Desafío Corona races in this circuit and rents the circuits to other parties, including race organizers, automobile clubs and track amateurs for fees that are controversial due to their disproportionately high amounts compared to other ex-F1 courses.
The NASCAR
Nationwide Series started racing at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in the 2005 season and ended in the 2008 season. Martin Truex Jr.
won the race in 2005, and Denny Hamlin
won in 2006. For the 2007 race, the chicane was removed to increase passing opportunities down the front straight and into turn 1, and Juan Pablo Montoya
from Bogotá
, Colombia
, won the race. Kyle Busch
was the winner of the race in 2008.
The A1 Grand Prix
series started racing at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in the 06-07 season
using the full-track configuration used by Formula One
. Alex Yoong
from Malaysia
won the sprint race and Oliver Jarvis
from the United Kingdom
won the feature race. In the 07-08 season
, Jonny Reid
from New Zealand
won the sprint race and Adam Carroll
of Team Ireland
won the feature race.
The circuit has an extremely fast final corner (the peraltada) before a long start/finish straight, and thus reminded some of Monza
; however, unlike Monza's parabolica curve, the peraltada curve is slightly banked, allowing even more speed through the corner. It was at this corner that Rodríguez crashed, although it is unclear whether this was due to excess speed or suspension failure. After the last F1 Mexican Grand Prix in 1992, a baseball stadium was built on the innerpart of this curve. When the Champ Car
series began using the track in 2002, the peraltada curve was partially bypassed by a series of sharp turns entering and exiting the baseball field; re-entering the peraltada halfway through.
In the 2005 NASCAR
Nationwide Series season, there was a chicane
on the main straightaway to slow the cars down. They also introduced a curve between the short course and the Ese del Lago to bypass the latter, but avoiding the stadium detour.
The oval configuration of this Mexico City facility is arguably the most dangerous racetrack in Mexico, because of the limited visibility at the exit of Turns 2 and 4. This is because the Foro Sol baseball stadium is located inside turns 1 and 2; and several trees are located inside turns 3 and 4.
During the 2006 season, two horrific accidents occurred in the oval track during NASCAR Mexico T4 Series
events, which took several drivers out of the race and even required some of them to be taken to the hospital.
The oval configuration is used at least twice a year, with two double-feature events featuring the NASCAR Mexico Corona Series and the NASCAR Mexico T4 Series
.
, and also hosts music concerts.
Artists like Paul McCartney
, Metallica
, Pink Floyd
, Santana
, The Rolling Stones
, Madonna
, U2
, and Radiohead
are just a few of the names that have played there.
The Coca-Cola Zero Festival was held at the racetrack on April 12, 2008 (http://coca-colazero.com.mx/). Acts included The Smashing Pumpkins, The Mars Volta, My Chemical Romance, My Morning Jacket, Belanova, Bright Eyes, Kinky, Miranda, La Gusana Ciega, Jumbo, Division Minuscula, Timo Maas, Quiero Club, The Faint, Chetes, Le Baron, and Austin TV.
