Fatal accidents to competitors at the Autódromo Juan y Oscar Gálvez, in Buenos Aires, Argentina during the 1000 km Buenos Aires and other national and international motor-sport events.
Eric Forrest-Greene died in the 1954 1000 km Buenos Aires, and Jorge Magnasco died in 1958 1000 km Buenos Aires, though they are not included because their accidents occurred on Avenida General Paz (the track was mixed).[1][2]
