1995 marked the first running of the Argentine Grand Prix since 1981. The race had been removed from the Formula One calendar due to the retirement of Carlos Reutemann and Argentina’s invasion of the Falkland Islands, before being reinstated following President Carlos Menem’s rise to power in 1989 and the subsequent modernisation of the Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez.
The No. 6 configuration of the circuit was to be used – the race having previously used the No. 2 and No. 9 configurations, as well as the long and fast No. 15 configuration. To celebrate the race’s return, Carlos Reutemann drove a demonstration lap of the circuit aboard the 1994 Ferrari 412 T1 on the Thursday afternoon before the race.
