BAHÍA BLANCA, ALDEA ROMANA, EZEQUIEL CRISOL
Not to be confused with Bahía Blanca (rutero) - Bahía Blanca, Base Contraalmirante Espora - Bahía Blanca, Carlos Martín / Villa Bordeu
Description Permanent Circuit that has been inaugurated in 2020 m layout. Soon (In 1981?) it was lengthened up to 3274.88 m. Some years later, long circuit was lengthened up to 3324 m by changing some bends (including the last fast bend before finish line) and by adding a chicane. According to Repco von Brabham this happened in 1988; Michel Marti checked Sudam F.3 results and according them, original circuit (3274.88 m) should have been used at least from 1981 to 1992, while on October 30th 1994 modified circuit (3324 m) was used for the first time. Short track was unchanged.
I don’t know when the circuit was named after Ezequiel Crisol
