14.05.24

The ACES project “Noche de echadas” aims to provide a safe alternative for drivers involved in illegal street racing. The Autódromo Internacional El Jabalí is a safe closed circuit, where drivers can practice without the same street driving risks. The initiative has numerous benefits, most notably decreases in the number of hospital admissions and traffic violations.The event has been promoted on social media, and has since grown significantly. Initially launched with 100 drivers and 500 spectators, the programme now reaches 200 drivers and 1800 visitors per event. Income from registrations and tickets is used to fund the project's continuous growth.​
