When will your last race be?

The change of generation in Road Tourismwith the addition of the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger, has been notorious. However, the most purists had the consolation that some Chevy, Falcon and GTX continued to compete alongside the new models (two months ago, in Gálvez, Canapino achieved a podium with an old school Chivo). That is about to end, and the Oval is one of the brands that will suffer: The Ford Falcon already has a farewell date and it is known who will be the last driver to race it.

Until the last date of the championship, which will be held on December 1 at the Roberto Mouras racetrack in La Plata, there will be at least one Falcon. Right now there are two, those of Gabriel Ponce de León and Emiliano Spatarobut the latter is expected to debut the Mustang that same day. The first, a reference for Ford in almost all the categories in which it competed, It will be the one that turns the engine of this model on and off for the last time.

“We decided that we are going to put the Ford Mustang on the track next year to work on the car in advance”Ponce de León told SoloTC. Spataro, on the other hand, anticipated that “the Mustang is advanced and the intention is to have it ready before the end of the year” and said that “It is a change that had to be made, the new generations hardly see the Falcon on the street”in dialogue with Carburando.

Although he did not translate it into titles, since he did not manage to win the Road Tourism, Ponce de León has spent a lifetime representing the Oval and positioning himself as a figure of the brand.. With it, the native of Junín achieved a 2nd place in the 2010 TC season, while he won three championships in the TC2000 (two with a Focus, in 2003 and 2005, and one with an Escort, in 2001) and obtained a third place in the Top Race (with a Mondeo, in 2007). From history, it seems fair that he be the one to say goodbye to the Falcon.
