High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Argentine Grand Prix was a round of the Formula One championship, held intermittently from 1953 to 1998. Although it is no longer on the Formula One calendar, the race has a long and varied history. Argentine president Juan Peron was the driving force behind the creation of the circuit, after seeing the success of the country's own Juan Manuel Fangio. Built just outside of Buenos Aires on swampland in 1952, the "Autodromo", as it was known, featured a white archway dedicated to the memory of Admiral Guillermo Brown (William Brown). The circuit opened in March 1952 with the running of the "Peron Cup", which was won by Fangio. In 1953, the Autodrome hosted the first ever Formula One race held outside Europe. The race saw native son Fangio retire his Maserati after 36 laps due to a transmission failure; Alberto Ascari's victory for Ferrari was overshadowed by a stadium accident which killed nine people.
