D-Type should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Keep Left

In Argentina they drive on the right. does anybody know if at one time they drove on the left?

My reason for asking is that the October Motor Sport has an article on Fangio's early city to city races in Argentina and all the cars - US Fords and Chevs - have right hand drive. As they are racing they tend do be in the middle of the road so you can't see if they are keeping left or right.

I'm sure this may have been answered before, but a search doesn't turn up an answer.

I'm almost sure that they've always driven on the right. I've seen many old historical films and documentaries from argentina and I don't recall ever seeing cars driving on the left. Could it be perhaps that these cars were imported from Australia/South africa? Maybe it was easier than bringing them from the US or Europe.
