The race was successful enough for Formula One to return the following year, and it was also decided that the newly formed World Sportscar Championship would add the track to their schedule as a traditional season-opening event.

Following the 1000km Nürburgring the previous year, this would make the Buenos Aires round only the second 1,000 km (621.4 mi) event in the series history.

[1] In 1955, an even longer section of the Autopista General Pablo Riccheri route would be added, making the circuit 17.1 km (10.6 mi) in length before it returned to its original size once again in 1956.

[4] World Championship status would return again in 1971 while Formula One would also test the re-addition of the Argentine Grand Prix by holding their own exhibition race.

The circuit would be modified again in 1972, shortening the lap to 6.0 km (3.7 mi) for the sportscars,[5] while the Argentine Grand Prix officially returned to the Formula One calendar where it would stay for nearly a decade.
