Argentine Touring Car Series 2022

Omar "el Guri" Martinez (Ford Ranger-Guri Martinez competicion) is the TCPK 2022 champion, and with 56 years old is the oldest champion on any ACTC series. This, like the last 3 years, is his penultimate year of racing before retiring, so maybe he has 5 years more to try to win another.

He won the "copa de oro" over his son Agustin (Ford Ranger-Guri Martinez competicion) by 2.5 points, 6 over Jakos (Toyota Hilux-TGR) The race winner, who did an amazing pass on both Agustin Martinez and De Carlo, who ended 2nd on the regular season leaderboard

Valentin Aguirre (VW-JP Carrera), who came to San Nicolas leading the copa, had a crash and had to retire.

And the most important news of the TCPK... Gianini (Ford Ranger-JPG) retired from the race and, for first time since racing on the series, is not the championship winner.

On the TCM side of things, Rudy Bundziak (Chevrolet-Coiro Dole Racing) got crowned as the champion and got the pass for an eventual 2024 TC season
The TCPM, as happened most of the year, ended with a Fain (Dodge-Galarza) victory, his 7th this year, and of course, ended with the championship for him over his teamate Calvani

On another, related, news, it was finally confirmed by all parties involved, that Jorgito Barrio will race on TC Mouras with a Chevrolet from the JP Carrera, aiming to reach TC as soon as posible.
The move, according wih TGR's Ramonda, could make things difficult for Barrio's programe with Toyota on TCR, which could mean that it wasn't well received on the team.

Also on the JP Carrera, Canapino was there and sat on the Aguirre VW Amarok, with sights on the 2023 season of TCPK

At last, the last of the argentine big series got its champion
Jose Manuel Urcera (Torino-Maquin Parts Racing) got crowned as the 2022 Champion over Werner (Ford-Fadel Racing) and Canapino (Chevrolet-JP Carrera) and put an end of a 51 year drought of championships on the TC for Torino.
Also he confirmed that he will paint the "1" on a Torino next year, dispelling rumors of driving the new Maquin Parts Camry

On the TC pista, Otto Fritzler (Ford-Moriatis Competicion), one of the most promising young drivers on the country became the new champion and will race next year on the bigger series.
