Canapino celebrates being the fastest TC in Neuquén.
Another career on the calendar Street Tourism. Some emotions are ahead of the renovated Termas de Río Hondo racetrack, where Balcarceño dominates santiago mangoni seeking his second victory in the category, a goal he achieved without major inconvenience.
Suddenly, the automotive environment spoke only a few words to penetrate the communication between Agustín Canapino and the JP team, while competing for the position with Matías Rossi. The rivalry is a new one, because after two consecutive victories achieved by the Chevrolet driver, now Matías Rossi, his great rival on the track, has emerged in the front positions, with a lot of talk and controversy. toyota camrywhich is in its debut season in the traditional category.
“If I had that car, you know, it’s embarrassing, it’s embarrassing what they did to Toyota, it’s playing, having fun”Canapino told his radio communications team.
From there, it comes and goes based on Chevrolet driver assessments, which determine the brand’s new performance. toyota camrywhich caused a lot of noise with its entry as the fifth brand and came from a lot of rejection among most TC supporters.
The comment, heard via a television broadcast, immediately resonated in the atmosphere teceist. The competition was in the background and the comments focused on the reefer’s words.
After the race, the microphones pointed at Canapino. “Is it made public?”is the inquiry made by the pilot, “to be surprised” because he found out his appreciation for his historic rival’s car.
In principle, Canapino’s comment was private, or apparently it was only intended for his JP teammates, where he had a great year. In fact, Mangoni, who had just won the race, was also a pilot of the structure he managed. Gustavo Lemawho also knew how to be the leader of the Independiente.
Premiere. This is what the Toyota Camry will look like in its first participation in the Turismo Carretera.
Rossi’s response didn’t last long either, arguing that it’s “natural” that a car without ballast works better than a “heavy” one, like the Chevrolet from the reefer after his two victories. And it went even further. Ironically, he specified the times that both drivers ran with the same brand on the TCChevrolet, where there is extensive efficiency in their favor in the comparison between the two.
What is hidden behind Canapino’s phrase?
Beyond the rivalries, in a semantic analysis of the statement that has caused considerable controversy, there is one main actor, who seems to go unnoticed, but, ultimately, will be the main defendant in Canapino’s analysis: the Road Tourism Corridors Association (ACTC).
“It’s embarrassing what they did to Toyota”. Who made this? Those who enabled the new model? Those who endorse the regulation? The concept is interesting, because no one defines in that way the work that members of a team can do, as in this case the person in charge of Rossi’s Camry. In fact, the Jakos were able to put the new vehicle on the podium in just five dateswith third place for Rossi at Termas de Río Hondo.
Canapino’s protest is remarkable. A reefer stature pilot, who is not only brilliant at driving a vehicle at high speeds, but more than his statements, Can you believe that a comment in the middle of a race towards your team can’t be made public?
Not wanting to hear his comments, waiting for a checkered flag, getting out of the car and in the privacy of the box says everything he doesn’t want to reveal to the public. Radios are at the disposal of television transmissionwhich determines whether it will be released or not.
Was there a mistake in the official delivery in making Canapino’s word known throughout the competition? Did this situation exclusively generated by the official delivery, which addresses the interests of the ACTC, cause any discomfort?
The truth is that Canapino’s statement was heard out loud. And the Chevrolet driver’s complaint seems to point beyond Rossi’s Toyota Camry. ACTC itself manages the licensing of brands in the valued, or at least promoted, search for equality.
What is the controversy over the Toyota Camry
In the case of Toyota, which entered surprisingly and apparently without category planning, there was an open technical regulation because the Camry conducted tests after the announcement of its entry, so times are conspiring to provide definitions about in its position with respect. in other vehicles.
At that time, the Toyota Camry has generated a great deal of controversy. The four traditional brands (Ford Falcon, Chevrolet, Dodge and Torino) follow a tradition that goes beyond the logic of the national industry, showcasing model formats that have not been done in nearly four decades. And now, a “modern” car appears in front of old cars, at least in its silhouette.
Canapino won in Concepción del Uruguay.
The elite drivers are well aware that in a championship like Turismo Carretera, with the Gold Cup only good performance on the final dates of the season matters (where the title is specified), every detail is essential to reach that opportunity in optimal conditions.
And in the case of Toyota, if the debate is to open on the run-up to the Gold Cup, some technical details could be limited by open regulations, and thus condition a major rival.
The drivers are brilliant in the car. And apparently, not just driving. They prepare the soil, form climates and try to impose conditions. In fact, in recent times the Advisory and Supervisory Commission (CAF) of the ACTC Agustín Canapino was called to testify. In the environment there is talk of the “gag” traditionally used in the category to control the word of the pilots. More than the controversy of a radio suggesting “escaped”, behind the noise everyone played their game. Always look beyond what the windshield allows you to see.
