Thinking about race Sunday, where they spend the most consecutive time inside the cars, in the TC Pista there will be Jorge Barrio with the Chevrolet and Jerónimo Teti with Torino, racing to get into their respective TN Class 3 Chevrolet Cruze.
On the TC side, there is José Manuel Urcera with the Falcon as well as a Focus in the APAT category. It could happen that Manu, established champion in both categories, will have to race in the third series of TN on Saturday afternoon and then go out to qualify in the first group of TC, but it will only be known on Friday when the Classification of Class 3 concludes. at the last minute.
Jonatan Castellano will also drive cars in the main division of each group of drivers, who will have to vary between his TC Dodge and the TN Cruze; Facundo Chapur (Dodge and Focus), Germán Todino (Falcon and Corolla) and Andy Jakos (Camry and Corolla).
For this reason, it will have a very tight schedule that forced the modification of the usual schedules for the ACTC categories. The “maximum” activity will begin on Saturday with training and classifications, while on Sunday the series and Finals will be held.
The activity will begin on Friday from 9 a.m. only for National Tourism, which will have 2 training sessions for Class 2 and Class 3, while in the afternoon, starting at 4 p.m., both divisions will carry out their respective classifications.
On Saturday the TC Pista will open it from 8:30 with its only round of training, after which the TC will have the 1st rehearsal at 10:30. Unlike the usual schedule, TC Pista will qualify in the morning starting at 11:20 and then there will be the 2nd training session of the “maximum” at 12:00. In the afternoon the Class 2 and Class 3 series of the TN will be run from 1:20 p.m., the TC will qualify from 4:20 p.m., only 21 minutes later than its usual schedule, and the day closes with the TC Pista a batteries starting at 5:20 p.m.
