The mark of goat he said goodbye to an emotional party with his emblem Guillermo Ortelli, who contested his last career as a driver and finished 14th. But in addition, he won a double podium, at the hands of Agustín Canapino, who scored his second consecutive victory and fought for the championship, and santiago mangoni. The third place was taken by John Cruz Welcomewith the Turin.
“It’s a dream, it was a very intense race, difficult, that we won the pit. It was given to us by the strategy. All credit to the team. Benvenuti managed everything, but I regained the lead in the tire change. That’s how it was. career, what took success to me in Neuquén today has given it to me “comment of the reef native, who started at the top, then won the fastest series of the morning.
Benvenuti came out to hit the start, but Canapino was able to defend the position in the first corner. Although the joy did not last long: in the second lap, he was overtaken by from Torino and took the lead.
The Mar del Plata man took the lead and when the pits opened on the eighth lap, he was the first to enter to change the tire. But it’s too long to get back on track, because Christian Ledesmawho stopped a few seconds after him, braked in front of him, left little space between the two vehicles and complicated his start.
“Alas, they stopped where they wanted, the same thing that happened to Agustín on the second date in Neuquén, happened to me this time. I had to be third this time, I had to work to be first. I was left with the bitter taste that I would have won “reviewed later by Torino.
The elaborate entry into the pits resulted in the lead at Benvenuti, which changed owners on the following laps, as vehicles came to an obligatory stop. On the 15th, after abandoning Mariano Werner due to a broken engine (the third so far this season for the current two-time champion), Ortelli inherited the top spot and indulged in rotation forward for a few laps.

On the 20th the race was neutralized due to a fire that started at Ford’s Kevin Candelawho were able to exit the vehicle under its own power.
In the relaunch, Canapino and Mangoni are vying for first place. The reefan jumped inside in the first corner and was able to keep it. Benvenuti didn’t stop hitting, ready to finish that difficult pit stop and finish third, but the Chevrolets didn’t give up and ended up sealing 1-2, as they did on the previous date, in Concepción del Uruguay.
Todino (Torino) was fourth and established himself as the leader of the championship, where he led with 152.5 units. Although the native of Buenos Aires has not yet achieved the success required by regulations to seek the title.
“It was a great race, we did nice maneuvers and I had fun racing. I congratulate all the mechanics. When they come out clean and they are good, you enjoy all the maneuvers, hopefully I will win soon”pointer comment.
Benvenuti followed him with 146 units, also no celebration, and third was Canapino with 143 and two wins.
