Motor racing is an expensive sport. Only a handful of lucky people in the world receive a salary for running. In the most earthly sphere, the challenge is to collect the budget to run in a category, which isn’t easy, especially when you’re just starting out. In a complicated Argentine economic reality, that’s not even surprising a Turismo Carretera driver changes brand and team mid-season.
This is the case with Christian Iván Ramos, TC Mouras champion in the 2020 season, who got out of a Dodge to enter a Turin. “The reason was budget”She said Clarione who left the Castellano Power Team after accepting the proposal of the RUS Med Team.
“We have been complicated for a couple of races. We also had to stop in one and now it has been a bit more complicated for us. We try to make the decision with as much time as possible so that the team can rent that car.Ramos explained his Dodge from the Castellano Power Team.
The “time” to which Iván refers is that which separates the last disputed date, August 7 in San Juan Villicum, and the next, August 28 in Paraná. In that time, the 29-year-old driver finalized the offer he had received from Mauro Medinathe leader of the RUS Med Team.
The change of Christian Iván Ramos. This is what the car 103 of TC, in charge of the RUS Med Team, will look like.
“We had Mauro’s proposal to join his team. This gives us a great hand to have continuity within the TC in a nice project. The idea is to get to know each other, to work together, that the technical part has highly trained people. You have to take it slow, but I think it’s a team that has a very good projection, “she shared.
Likewise, who is 33rd in the league after adding 84.5 points on nine dateshe expressed: “I am more than grateful to Jonatan Castellano and all the guys on the team because they are very good people and in all this time they have treated me very well and I am grateful to them for the opportunity”.
“Now we are grateful to Mauro Medina, to all his team and to all the sponsors. Together with the sponsors and the group of friends who help me get the budget, we decided to make the change., they gave me their support to do it -he confessed-. This is very important to me because thanks to all of them this change could be made. “

His new team was quick to welcome him on Twitter: “The driver from Mechongué joins the team to drive a Torino from the date of the TC in Paraná with the technical assistance of Guillermo Cruzetti and the engine of Claudio Garófalo”.
In short, it is a return to the brand with which he had established himself at TC Mouras two years ago, even if he was with the Fierromec Trotta Racing team at the time. The Turin that will give him the RUS Med Team will be the one left by Alan Ruggiero and previously used by Ian Reutemann.
“Thanks to all this fantastic Castellano Power Team for all this time in which I have met great people and made good friends. Today we have to go our separate ways, but knowing that we both gave our all with nothing to blame, “wrote Christian Iván Ramos of his separation.
“We wish him maximum success in what is to come. The team will always be open to him”, was the message received by Ramos from the Castellano Power Team, the team led by colleague Pincho Castellano, seventh in the championship. .
