Montevideo, Circuito Rambla Sur (1947, 1986, 2001)

Due to technical problems, temporarily it's no longer possible to see the circuits on Google Maps embedded in the current page.
This feature will be restored as soon as I figure out how to do (any help would be appreciated!)

See this track layout with Google Earth - milermeter.com

(Map shown here above can show at the same time all eventual layouts drawn. If you want to see only some of them, please go to Google Maps or Google Earth, by clicking on its own link)
(milermeter.com can be used in your browser, without installing anything; Google Earth is a program that must be installed in your computer)



PHOTOS
MONTEVIDEO RAMBLA SUR - PARQUE RODÓ

Foto scattate al circuito del Parque Rodó usati per il Gran Premio Ciudad de Montevideo il 17 agosto 1947 e successivamente nel 1986 e nel 2001.<br />
Circuito antiorario (1,85 km, ma non sono sicuro che le gare siano state disputate in questa direzione). I box potrebbero essere stati sia dopo il tornantino sud guardando verso ovest o più vicino a Playa Ramirez di fronte all'entrata del Teatro de Verano.<br />
