And the first race of TC is history!
Victory for Werner (Ford-Fadel Racing) with Castellano (Dodge-Castellano Metalfor) and Catalan Magni (Ford-Catalan Magni Motorsport)
Werner reached 13 consecutive seasons with race wins, being only one of 3 to do so, after Galvez (16) and Ortelli (14), also reached Pairetti as the 13th pilot in number of wins with 22 victories, and the 3rd one currently active, after Ledesma (26) and Rossi (25)
Talking about Rossi, and bringing back Pairetti again, his engine quit 4 laps from the finish lane while on first place with the Camry, thus denying Toyota its first TC win and mantaining Pairetti as the only pilot that won with a "non traditional" brand (Volvo)
As for the champion, Urcera had a penalty from an incident in his series and started from the last place (53) and ended in 14th position after passing 39 cars in 25 laps, which is a category record for conventional races
And, lastly... Chevrolet really miss Canapino (Both father and son), even with lighter weight, the Chevys were nowhere near the top
