Just amazing that the AR guvnmnt can afford an int'l sport event and not the F1 but a motorcycle racing parade.
The premier and much exciting MotoGP, the world's 1st high tech motorcycle racing to be inaugurated in Argentina this month of April 2014. The venue is planned to be held in Termas del Hondo, closer to the federal capital of Buenos Aires. Argentina is hungry for foreign currency, the US Dollar, its maligned government of CFK is desperately in need for the divine and economy saving almighty Dollar.
For MotoGP, the sanctioning fee is normally around $1.3m (£0.83m) with ticket prices around $80 (£51) with an attendance of 60,000 paying ...So no F1 race can be afforded due to its cost of around US$30m per race weekend.Then the MotoGP racing will be somewhat more appropriate and doable for the cash strained Argentina government of CFK. I don't know where AR has found the mighty dough required to build its banked race course, one of few or unique course layout in the world. The big question is, can the civiles of AR can afford to pay US$80.00 a pop for motorcycle race?

MotoGP™ lands in Argentina for first test
Ahead of MotoGP™ testing at the brand-new Termas del Rio Hondo circuit in Argentina this week, various riders gathered in capital city Buenos Aires on Tuesday afternoon. They were joined by representatives behind the planned full-time return of the sport to the South American country from 2014.
The two-day test session at the all-new circuit, which is situated 1,100km north-west of Buenos Aires, will welcome MotoGP™ for the very first time and will be taking place on Thursday and Friday of this week.
On Tuesday came an introduction to the country on what was a first official trip to Argentina for the riders. The press conference was staged at Buenos Aires’ Hotel NH City and attended by Angel Hugo Nicolai (Vice Governor of the Province of Santiago del Estero), Leonardo Boto Alvarez (Executive Director, National Institute of Tourism) and Ignacio Sagnier (Communications Manager, Dorna Sports).
