Argentinepresident Juan Perón was the driving force behind the creation of the circuit, after seeing the success of the country's own Juan Manuel Fangio.
With his retirement, and with the exile of Peron (in 1955) leading to several unstable governments, the Argentine Grand Prix disapeared from the F1 calendar in 1961 for over a decade.
Unfortunately, with the organizers of the event running into financial difficulties, the 1998 race was the last running of the Argentine Grand Prix, the checkered flag waving victory to Michael Schumacher, in what was then only his ninth win for Ferrari.
