Overview

  • The Toyota Corolla Cross duo topped teammates Emiliano Stang and Antonino García, with Franco Vivian and Rafael Morgenstern third in a Chevrolet Tracker.
  • The 42-lap final on Circuit No. 8 turned on clean pit work for fuel and the driver swap, with temporary lead changes through the stops before Rossi finished the job.
  • Setbacks hit several contenders, including an early retirement for Ignacio Montenegro before Leonel Pernía could take over, gearbox trouble for Leandro Juncos, and refuelling delays for Vivian.
  • Saturday’s invited-drivers race ran in rain on the No. 8 layout after organizers abandoned No. 9 over lubrication concerns, and Santiago Urrutia won to secure pole for the final.
  • The 19th edition featured the first TC2000 outing for roughly 500-horsepower SUVs in a two-part endurance format with 17 driver pairings and elevated championship points.
