2023 Argentine Touring Car Series
After a really busy week here in the country and still kinda with the after effects of the world cup party...
We start the 2023 thread with the anouncement made by ACTC of the presentation of the calendars of their series, that will be made from Base Marambio on Antartica, this wedsnesday. Manu Urcera's championship winning Torino is expected to be there (acording to rumors) It isn't the first time ACTC visits Marambio, and if the car goes with them, it wouldn't be the first time that a Torino is there too, since in 2011 there was an exhibition with a "Toro" doing some 200km/h passes on the antartic soil. |

More silly season news:
The Maquin Parts team wil go from being an all Torino team to a mixed one again with 2023 Champion Urcera staying for another season with the brand, Todino leaving his "Toro" for the Dodge that ucera used for 2 races this year, and new to the team Okulovich getting on another Torino, leaving, potentially, the Camry for Gini Another one with changes is TC2000 Champion Pernia, who will continue with the Ambroggio team in TC2000 but on TC is leaving Las Toscas (and the Torino that won 2 races this year, including the last one, who aparently has already a driver) to get on the Guri Martinez Ford that was driven by JB de Benedictis. De Benedictis in change is going to the Catalan Magni Team, again with Ford Another "big name" change is happening in the Rus-Med team who anounced Ardusso (coming from really good races in LRD and Maquin Parts) and ex F1 Fontana as drivers for the 2 Torinos and Nico Bonelli for their Ford. Finally on the technical side of the TC, the ACTC anounced the unification of weight for all brands in 1315 kg (the weight of the 2021 Ford) thus making the Torinos 15 kg heavier (1300kg on 2021), the Dodge and Chevrolet 10kg lighter (1325kg for 2021) and the Toyota 25 Kg lighter (1340 kg on 2021). Also Dodge will be allowed a bigger front splitter for this year |

In the making, Who and When still to see, Honda are, afaik, the ones who said a clear "yes, we're making one for 2023" and since they're togetter with the FDC team they will be fast, and possibly polemic.
They are expecting the arrival of a pair of HRVs chassis for February to start the work. |

Actually, not so much, he (or his father actually) and Juncos go really far back.
He only needed a push, the talent was there, and with Juncos, the people in the correct places too. (If some kind of Juncos-like guy was arround the time Guerrieri was in Lights... maybe he could have been racing in Indy since long ago) Also Werner is going to race in Trans Am, Baltazar Leguizamon in Nascar Guerrieri in WEC, with Pechito who remains at TGR, Sacha Fenestraz at FE (this one is a downgrade from SF and SGT, for me at least), and Rossi at Stock Car Pro Series. And the usual TCR army seems to get bigger by the day. It will be a nice international season for the argentine drivers. The only one who kinda is losing his "international" outings is Barrio, leaving the TGR TC2000 means leaving the TGR umbrella altogetter (TBD what is gona happen with Azar, who did some GT entrys for Toyota, who isn't oficially TGR anymore, since TGR left Top Race) |

Mariano Werner got the 95 number for the Turismo Nacional, where he would enter select events for Dole Racing with Toyota.

Some of the new TC liveries look really nice, going for simpler patterns and more uniform colors (also, the new wheels are neat)
Spataro's Ford: Castellano's Dodge (this one will be one to follow, with the new ruleset for Dodge) Gini's Torino (IDK if will race the complete year with this car, is fairly new, but the team has a Toyota in the build), liking the simplicity overall of this one BUT... Okulovich's Torino is the best by far in a long time on TC* *Okulovich tends to have the best designs thanks to CBSe's aproach to give freedom to the designers, this is his 2021 Torino, the best recent TC design: |

Last year there was a talk about Metalfor trying to convince him to increase the percentage of green on the car, that culmined with the Green livery on the TN Cruze, but the TC car was out of the question, now they maybe were more convincing
Also, now its came to me why i like it, it reminds me slightly of the Renown Mazda liverie |
