History The race had its first edition in mid-1986 as a result of the idea of having a long-term race in the country. Its first edition was called the "Premio Wagner Cofre Motor" and it was held over one hundred laps, in the Tocancipá Circuit of 2040 meters. This was disputed by small-cylinder touring cars along with cars with V8 engines. Its first winner was Pablo Gómez in a Simca. For the second edition in 1987, it was decided to change the one hundred laps for a duration of three hours. In 1988, it went to its current duration of six hours.
