    Watching some old Schumacher clips on Youtube. Why was this great circuit dropped?

    I went to Buenos Aires for what was supposed to be the last race. Only to learn that it already got cancelled. I remember the posters were already hung everywhere in the city. :(

    The track and its infrastructure never really got upgraded and was very dated. Also after Reutemann left, there was little interest in F1 in Argentina. Add to that their financial crisis and you could see where that was headed.
