The list is the same, only that it has the Pick Ups in another list, if you join them it remains the same.

Now there are doubts of Chevrolet future on TC2000

Is this confirmed? If yes why is he fired?

The third place went for Llaver-Urrutia (Chevrolet) with the later having a 100% podium effectivity for the event (5 podiums out of 5 200km's raced)

With these results, Pernia extends his lead on the championship over Santero and Llaver, while Canapino drops to 4th.

Easy win for Pernia-Garcia.
Nice battle for 2nd spot between Toyota and the two Chevy's.

I like this event but grid needs some extra cars.

the 200km should be raced with the TC2000 Series as a multi-class event

He worked for GM directly, and was there from 2005.

I'm sure isn't team's performance related, since they're on a really strong position (and had really atrocious years, like the Vectra one, beautifull car, was slow and fragile)
If is team related (i dont think so) could be the managment of the Canapino-Llaver dynámics (with Llaver being vocally unhappy with the slow cars he was given on some races in comparision with Canapino, with both fighting the championship).
But even then, i don't think Is the reason, specially at this point of the season with both drivers in contention

The reason, imho, is company related, not team related.

URCERA race with Torino

NaBUru38 · 11 Oct 2022, 14:08 (Ref:4129900)

Hmm, I see that he did two races with Dodge in May, then went back to Torino.

Yeah, after the car was destroyed in a crash with Agrelo (also a Maquin Parts driver then, now is with Dodge in the Castellano team)

**FIRE** · 15 Oct 2022, 13:13 (Ref:4130377)

Race at Comodoro Rivadavia was not very interesting.

TuteZaek · 15 Oct 2022, 13:17 (Ref:4130378)

Say hello to the new TC center-nut wheel for 2023. (Solo TC)

They're gonna test this at La Plata, using personnel from JP Carrera's team, and Gianini as a driver in a car from the ACTC museum (no word on which car, ill asume one of the laboratory ones)

From the pic: there Is no aparent change to the tire format/size, so still the 16 NAs

TuteZaek · 15 Oct 2022, 16:09 (Ref:4130392)

AAAAND in a move that nobody expected...Ford may be interested in bringing the Ford Territory SUV to...Turismo Nacional (Acording to Ventricelli who runs the Ranger team on TCPK, the brand had a reunion with APAT on the issue)

Here the "joke" day is december 28th.

We still have more time to some more weirdness... but this silly season doesn't want to lose against last year Toyota anouncements...

TuteZaek · 18 Oct 2022, 12:42 (Ref:4130704)

The TN races where amazing, the C2 race was the closest finish for the series ever, with 0.007 between 1st and 2nd.
And the C3 had a lot of position changes on the lead, with Chapur, Santero, Castellano (who leads the championship but needs a win) Pernia and Muñoz Marchesi fighting for the race during the whole race.

The C2 "photo-finish"

This is interesting: Juan Nimo (Who can't use his legs) TC Pista Mouras car cockpit adaptations.

Due to a union conflict, the participation of the @EquipoProracing Chevrolet team in the Oscar Cabalén de Córdoba is in doubt. The cars are still in Carlos Paz's workshop.

Just seen this reported….not good

TuteZaek · 21 Oct 2022, 18:30 (Ref:4131022)

Could this be due Maiquez departure? (As in changes on the contracts under the new management)

NaBUru38 · 22 Oct 2022, 19:09 (Ref:4131095)

Wow, that's a new kind of news.

TuteZaek · 22 Oct 2022, 21:50 (Ref:4131112)

Chevrolet position in the series seems iffy at this moment, even more than the last weeks, this doesn't look good for both them and the series.

TuteZaek · 23 Oct 2022, 16:58 (Ref:4131193)

After the Chevrolet mess...

Pernia (Ambrogio Fluence) is the new TC2000 Champion!!
With Santero (TGR Corolla) out in the first 50 meters of the race toghetter with Ardusso (Honda Civic), "El Tanito" needed a 2nd place to be crowned, finished 3rd but then Barrio (TGR Corolla), who finished 2nd
was penalized for a false start, giving his place to the Renault driver.

A polemic end to the 2022 championship

TuteZaek · 25 Oct 2022, 18:29 (Ref:4131437)

And it's oficial what has been speculated since Maiquez firing by GM, there will not be a Chevrolet works team for 2023 on TC2000.
