Circuit Information:

MotoGP returned to Argentina in 2014 after a long 15-year break, with the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit in the northern province of Santiago del Estero becoming the host venue for the Gran Premio de la Republica Argentina - a race that had previously been held in Buenos Aires.

Indeed, the first ever Argentinean Grand Prix took place in 1961 close to Argentina's capital, and was the first time that a GP had been run outside Europe. In the modern era Termas de Rio Hondo continues the legacy of motorcycle racing in Argentina. The annual visit to the South American country creates a festival atmosphere, providing a spectacular show on and off track.

The Termas de Río Hondo Circuit is located 6km from the city which gives the venue its name, in the Province of Santiago del Estero. It was built in a 150 hectare area and officially inaugurated on May 11, 2008, during the visit of Argentina´s Touring Car Racing championship. In 2012, the reconditioning, enlargement and modernization of the circuit began, with the purpose of turning it into Latin America’s most modern, safe and vibrant circuit.

Trust Google to make things simpler. Searching for just 'MotoGP' throws the calendar up (your local time):


Similarly for F1. Got to love Google ! Earlier, we had to go to F1.com, scroll down and click the 'convert to your local time' button:


By the way, HOT weekend with both series lined up .

There is this app called "Motocal" on the Play Store which gives the schedule with timings and other information as well.

No idea about IOS.

Cheers

Pedrosa tops the first practice, closely followed by Crutchlow. Top Ducati is Miller, and Zarco, the top Yamaha.

We are so shortchanged on the coverage. Always miss FP1, FP2 and FP3 which is where quite a bit of action is. Any suggestions on where we can watch the coverage for free practice?

It looks like it will be a wet qualifying. Will it stop the strong Honda's ? Very good chance for Rossi to be on top row.

Wow ! That was something. Marquez sets up pace on wets. Aleix Espargaro beats it, keeps the place for long. Marquez, Crutchlow, Miller go for slicks. The Honda guys abort. Miller keeps going. His transponder not working on the last lap, out of the blue he goes P1.
Pedrosa and Zarco complete the front row.
All the while when it looked sure pole for Marquez, he ends up P5.

What ever respect I had for Mark Marques is gone. That guy is a threat to safety of other riders.
