The Posadas Autodrome is set to vibrate this weekend with the definition of the eighth round of the Turismo Carretera, corresponding to the Lusqtoff Grand Prix. The grand final is scheduled to start at 14:00 hours, promising a top-tier spectacle for motorsport fans.
The front row will be made up of the winners of the fastest series: Nicolas Bonelli driving his Ford and Christian Ledesma with Chevrolet. Alongside them, Otto Fritzler made history by securing the pole position with a Mercedes-Benz CLE 53, recording a time of 1m31s513. This marks the very first pole position for the German brand in the history of the TC.
For those unfamiliar with South American motorsport, the Turismo Carretera (often simply called TC) is the oldest and most popular car racing series in Argentina. Founded in 1937, it features vehicles based on street models but highly modified for competitive racing. The traditional historic brands are Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, and Torino. Recently, Mercedes-Benz has burst onto the scene, proving that this classic category continues to evolve and embrace new, exciting challenges.
The race will be broadcast live on Argentine television via El Nueve and also through the digital streaming platform Motor Play, ensuring no fan misses out on the action.
