Description Circuit that hosted "Primer Gran Premio Internacional Ciudad de Lima" (First International Grand Prix City of Lima) on July 1959. Moreover, it hosted "Las Seis Horas Peruanas" (Peruvian 6 hours), an endurance car race every year from its first edition in 1964 to 1968 and then again in 1977, 1979, 1991, 1993, 1996 and 1997. I have no more info, neither if track layout was the same over the years.
