There will be 13 cars on the grid Saturday at Buenos Aires, for TCR South America’s Round 10, the second endurance race of the season.
After announcing the participation of international Touring Car stars Esteban Guerrieri, Néstor Girolami and Tom Coronel, the series promoters have unveiled the other pairs of drivers.
Among them are the 2013 TC2000 champion Matías Milla who shares a Squadra Martino Honda Civic with Juan Ángel Rosso, the 2014 Turismo Carretera Pista champion Claudio Rama together with his son Leandro in one of the two Lynk & Co 03 cars run by PMO Motorsport, while Ernesto Bessone returns in the team’s second car with co-driver Fabricio Pezzini.
Facundo Marques, who drove a Civic FK7 for Squadra Martino in Río Cuarto switches to the team’s Civic FK2 alongside Fabio Casagrande, while Juan Pablo Bessone – Ernesto’s son – joins Matías Cravero in a PropCar Racing Alfa Romeo Giulietta. The second Alfa will be in the hands of Javier Manta and Gonzalo Fernández.
The event also mark the return of Scuderia CJ with their pair of Hyundai Elantra N cars driven by Eugenio Provens-Nicolás Palau and Pedro Aizza-Damián Fineschi. The latter is a race winner in the Super TC2000 and a favourite of Argentine fans.
Last but not least, Brazil’s Touring Car veteran and Cobra Racing director Flavio ‘Nonô’ Figueiredo will share one of the team’s second Audi RS 3 LMS with Adalberto Baptista.
