Argentine Touring Car Series 2022

[TuteZaek]

Barrio (Toyota) won the sunday TC2000 race after Canapino (Chevrolet) had some troubles with aparent oil (From Bustos Barrio's Fluence engine blowing up) in the track, it was a kinda boring race if not for that.

BUT the news (Well, its from Maxima Velocidad's Sciciliano, so "news" is used kinda looselly here) its that Toyota Argentina could be evaluating its works teams programmes, with only TC (Coiro-Dole) and TCR South America (TGRA) confirmed as fully works teams for 2023, and only Rossi, Santero and Barrio confirmed as official drivers.

There will be, if this going through, "semi-oficial" teams for other categories with TGR teams, that puts the TC2000 programme (Toyota's biggest at the moment) in a dubious position, especially since the JP Carrera team could be building a Camry for Barrio to use on TC Mouras (a Pre-requisite for running on TC) and the Mouras (with the TCPK) usually races on the same weekend as the TC2000.

No words on TCPK Werner-Jakos* (Ran by Coiro-Dole, same as TC), TRV8** Azar-Reutemann, (ran by TGRA proper under Ramonda, same as TC2000) or TNC3 Santero, who will continue with TGR-Ar (Ran by someone, it was Bessone last year, this year im not sure who is on charge) yet
*I'll asume he will continue with the Camry on TC, but on the Coiro-Dole side of the team.
** Should be V8 next year

Another edit to add: Azar is the reigning TR Champion (and points leader on the current year) and Santero is the reigning TNC3 Champion (With kinda a faint chance of repeating, but it'll be hard)
The TCPK team, on the other hand, had a nice fight with Gianini for the tittle, but both pilots lost by a hair.
So far, these last years were good for the Toyota teams, aside from the TC2000-Rossi debacle

That said, take those news for what they're worth, not only because MV it's a lot of smoke, but because nothing is final on the TGR side.

And, talking about smoke, to the rumors of the TC travelling to Uruguay (which kinda calmed now), now we must add the intention of going to Brazil for 2023
