Built in 1959 inside the Magdalena Mixhuca public park, the circuit took its current name in 1979 to honor Ricardo Rodríguez (killed in practice here during the 1962 Grand Prix) and his brother Pedro (killed behind the wheel in 1971). It has hosted Formula One in three separate eras; since 2021 the race runs as the Mexico City Grand Prix.
What to look for
- The circuit name commemorating Ricardo (1942–1962) and Pedro (1940–1971) Rodríguez — brothers who both died racing
- The 4.304 km track layout threading through the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City park in southeast Mexico City
- A circuit that has hosted Formula One in three distinct eras — the second of which ended in 1992 before the race returned in 2015 as the Mexico City Grand Prix
