Argentine Touring Car Series 2022

[TuteZaek]

Well, the fi rst special race of the season ended with a victory for Mazzacane, after a good pitstop. Its his second win, both on special races, last was the "desaf?*o de las estrellas" 2021, but the first on track, the 2021win was after post race penalties.

The Toyotas still suck, and Canapino's car still Is a monster even after the crash

Also, on Última Vuelta Mazzacane himself confirmes that a single central nut wheel is in the works. Currently, only TC2000 (AND series) uses such wheels, and TRV6 did briefly for a season or two.
All major series wheels are Made by EB, a local manufacturer
The TC being the series that currently more wheel changes implements in its races, it's surprising that they didn't do It earlier.

The current TC Wheel


The TC2000 wheel



The TC Pick Up Wheel (the last one they did)



And the TRV6, which looks street-ish




They also do for TN C2 and C3 and the small formulae

For a fun take on Argentine touring car racing, don't miss the weekly Minuto Satrasca video series.

The TC2000 started its new era, with a victory for Pernia, with the Fluence, second place was for Santero (Toyota) and third was Llaver with Chevrolet, Canapino had to quit after dominating the first part of the race.

There were 16 cars of the 18 planned , there are 20 engines available, but 2 are spares, with the 2 old DTA Fiats returning, but less cars from some teams, like Honda and FDC

The Renault Alaskan TC pickup Is coming later this year (with a second one for 2023) from Trotta racing and the Renault Dealership Asociation, with either Landa or Benvenutti as the first prospective driver.

[NaBUru38]

The TC Pick Up visits La Plata this weekend. There's 40 drivers registered, including Mariano Werner, Andrés Jakos, Juan Pablo Gianini, Gastón Mazzacane, Omar Mart?*nez, Juan de Benedictis, Facundo Chapur, Leonel Larrauri, Ian Reutemann, Ianina Zanazzi and Ayrton Londero.

[NaBUru38]

The TC Mouras will have four races outside La Plata, with visits at Posadas (Misiones), Rìo Cuarto (Còrdoba), Centenario (Neuquén) and El Villicum (San Juan).

[TuteZaek]

As much as i like r?*o cuarto, the circuit isn't in the best condition, at least visually.
Talking about circuits, Rafaela wants to put the circuit infrastructure on par with San Juan Villicum, idk if the track itself Is on the plans, but if it is, they'll position themselves as one of the best, if not the best and More interesting venues.
Also on this days TRV6 will be doing tests for a posible full oval race later this year.

Until today didn't see much of this seasons racing in Argentina.

I just watched the sprint race of TC2000 and was surprised to see Yannantuoni and Vivian on the front row.

Last weekend's TC2000 was quite boring. Canapino is just too good.


In other news, the series unveiled a new logo.

Didn't know there was a lawsuit.
Has this implications for ACTC?

Is there any interest in change of regulations for the TC2000 Series as in the cars and engine to maybe attract more manufacturers or closer Racing

[NaBUru38]

The big problem with TC2000 is the lack of star drivers. Changing the car rules wouldn't help.

Since they stream the races on Motoplay instead of Youtube I follow it less closely.

With the season underway have the purists accepted Toyota?
I really like the rear of the Toyota.

No, they hate it more than ever now that seems to be a threat, before last week it was a meme, now they don't laugh at It anymore.

Especially after Canapino's radio comments (which, imho, were stupid coming from the guy with the dominant car, but he always acts the same)

That said, It was about time for the thing to work, now if Jakos could finnish a race...

Next race will be the Camry's némesis tho, acording to them, they still suffer with a top speed penalty against others, so Rafaela could be rough.
