2023 Argentine Touring Car Series

[TuteZaek]

The Rafaela oval is behind, and Werner (Ford-Fadel Racing)won everything that was available to win over Mangoni (Chevrolet - JP) and Canapino (Chevrolet-JP) who went back to the podium after more than a year (But, tbf, indy happened)

The Ford driver remains first in the "Copa de Oro" with 40 points over his closest rival Santero (Ford - LCA) who had a really bad weekend ending 26th, as did former 3rd in the championship Landa, (Torino - ACRA), 28th in Rafaela who now dropped to 9th in the "cup" with Mangoni sitting in 3rd

There are 117,5 points to get in the next 2 races, Toay, with normal points, and San Juan Villicun with 1.5x points in every phase of the weekend (Qualy, Series and Final)

Turismo Carretera - Gold Cup standings after San Luis:

1. Mariano Werner (Ford), 172
2. Santiago Mangoni (Chevrolet), 133.5
3. Juan Martin Trucco (Dodge), 125
4. Julián Santero (Ford), 122.5

10. Jonatan Castellano (Dodge), 94
11. Gastón Mazzacane (Chevrolet), 89.5
12. Mauricio Lambiris (Ford), 65.5

The final round is on December 3 at El Villicum.

[TuteZaek]

For the last round there will be 50% more points all across the range, so efectivelly there are 70,5 points for a "perfect run"
Werner needs 32 points, or 13th position on the Final race, without counting Qualy and Series points, to be crowned champion, his average position this year is 11th but really skewed by a 51th place on the Concepcion del Uruguay race (5th race of the year) and even then he got 7 points that weekend (got 4th in qualy, and won his serie)
On the last race at villicum that would shield 10.5 points

[TuteZaek]

TN will close its championship this Saturday (Presidential Ballotage on Sunday) on the Viedma Circuit, with the qualys and trainings happening on thursday for the C2, and the series on Friday, together with the C3 qualy.
Saturday will have the C2 Final, the C3 series, and a late C3 final (from 17hs onward)

This is shocking, has someone in the crowd done this or someone in the pit lane??

God forbid if it had hit Leonel

[FIRE]

WTF

[NaBUru38]

The press is suspecting of rival driver José Manuel Urcera, though Pernia did not mention him publicly.

Is this just gossip or is there some proof?

It says that he was shot at during race?

[NaBUru38]

It's gossip so far.

The bullets were found during the weekend, but nobody heard the shots I think.

[NaBUru38]

Understandably, Leonel Pernia will not race the TC final round at El Villicum.

It's worth mentioning that the winner of the playoffs get 200 bonus points to their final championship tally, to prevent having a champion with less points than the second (in this case, without them Werner would've been 3rd in the regular championship with 452.5 points behind Ciantini and Gianini, the TC implements the same.)

Why? because of the shooting? that would be logical, except he raced with TC2000 (even if he needed to race the TC2000 for the championship)
All this situation is so weird.
(Also, Pernia wants to win, and in the TC that is proving difficult for him, he was evaluating leaving the series to concentrate in the ones that he is more succesful)

[Adamcas87]

A third bullet hole has been discovered on Pernia car I believe
