MotoGP made its long-awaited return to Argentina in 2014, with the championship turning to Termas de Rio Hondo as the host city instead of Buenos Aires.

The Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo is located in Santiago, with the 2.9 mile circuit playing host to races for the last decade.

It is the second track to host the Argentina Grand Prix after it was in Buenos Aires at the Autdromo Oscar Alfredo Galvez in the late 90s, having stopped in 1999.

Just a few select teams have won the Argentina GP since its arrival back onto the calendar, which is also the case for the bike manufacturers. With that, MotoGP News takes a look at the most successful teams to take part in the Argentina GP.

Honda first won the Argentina Grand Prix in 2014

Honda first won the Argentina Grand Prix with Marc Marquez during his stunning start to the 2014 season, in which he took 10 victories in a row.

Marquez won his second title that year, with the Spaniard taking pole and winning the third round in Argentina by two seconds from teammate Dani Pedrosa.

It was a dominant season for Honda, who went on to take 14 victories between Marquez and Pedrosa, cementing it as one of the all-time dominant years for the Spaniard.

Honda the most successful team at Argentina Grand Prix

Honda is the most successful team at the Argentina GP having won it four times as a factory team and once with their satellite team LCR.

The team would repeat the feat with Marquez in 2016 and 2019, with Cal Crutchlow winning the race for them in 2018 for LCR.

Yamaha is the second most popular having won it twice, the first time in 2015 with Valentino Rossi and again in 2017 with Maverick Vinales.

Only three other teams have won the race since it came back onto the calendar in 2014.

Honda the most successful bike manufacturer at Argentina Grand Prix

The most successful bike manufacturer at Argentina is Honda, with their riders taking a total of four victories between them.

Only Yamaha has managed to take more than one victory with its bikes at the circuit, while Ducati and Aprilia have one apiece.

Ducati’s victory came from Italian rider Marco Bezzecchi in 2023, the last time the race was held after a fallow year due to spending cuts by the incumbent president Javier Milei.
