The Autodromo Ciudad de Mexico, or in English, the Mexico City Autodrome, is an eight-turn, 2.518-mile (4.052-km) road course located in Mexico City, Mexico.

The track is part of a public park, the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City, which includes a baseball stadium known as Foro Sol inside Turn 14.

The Global Racing League raced here in 2006. This track hosts the TM Mexico Series, and also hosts the Formula A Grand Prix of Mexico. Due to it having both a road course and an oval, it holds two races a season. The road course is used for TM Mexico's marquee event, the Grand Prix of Mexico City. The oval is used for the season finale, the Round of Mexico City.

The ARLA Elite Series returned to the track for the first time since 2007 in the 2013 season, using the road course layout.

Non-canon notes[edit | edit source]

The track is another circuit renamed to fit within the confines of the canon, as the racing brothers in the name Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez don't exist. Like Circuit Ile Notre-Dame, it was renamed for the location of the track, and not named for an individual.
