The 2023 Desafío de las Estrellas (English: 2023 Challenge of the Stars) was a motor race for Turismo Carretera held on the weekend of 21–23 July 2023. The event was held at the Circuito San Juan Villicum in Albardón, Argentina and consisted of one race of 150 kilometres. It was the ninth round of fifteen in the 2023 Turismo Carretera championship.

Background

The event was the third and final 'special round' held in the 2023 season, the previous two being the third round in Toay and the seventh round in Rafaela. Along with Toay, the event consisted of a single race including pit-stops.

It was the seventh staging of the "Desafío de las Estrellas" event since its debut in 2015, a unique event where no qualifying session is held and the grid is instead determined by a lottery.[1][2]
