Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez facts for kids
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is a famous race track in Mexico. It's located near Mexico City. This track is named after two amazing Mexican racing brothers, Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez. Ricardo was a very talented driver, and the track honors him and his brother.
The race track was finished in 1962. It hosted its very first Formula One race that same year. However, that first race didn't count towards the official championship. A year later, in 1963, the exciting Mexican Grand Prix officially began here.
The Mexican Grand Prix was held at this track from 1963 to 1970. Then, Formula One racing took a break from the circuit. F1 cars returned in 1986 and raced there until 1992. Even when F1 wasn't there, the track has always been busy. It hosts many different racing events. For example, it hosted the Nationwide Series from 2005 to 2008.
