TN in Rosario: Todino, another new winner in Class 3

German Todino (Toyota Corolla) was awarded the 4th date of the 42nd Argentine Championship of the Class 3 of the National tourismwhich was run on the racetrack of rosary beads. The pilot of the TB Racingwho started from 2nd position, reached his 1st victory in the major division of TN after a great duel with Jorge Barrio (Chevrolet Cruze) that lasted for 20 laps of a Final that, beyond the entertaining fight for victory, did not offer great alternatives.

Rivera’s “Gaucho”, who runs the Corolla he used last year Julian Santero and which is property of “Tito” Bessone, overtook the man from Pina Mar in the first pass through turn 2 with a risky maneuver on the outside. And although he maintained the lead until the end, He should have pushed himself to the maximum to prevent Barrio from surpassing him.who had just achieved his 1st victory in the TN on the last date, held in Concordia.

Without activity in National Tourism during 2023, Todino had returned to the category on the 2nd date of this year, in Paraná, with the technical assistance of Gabriel Rodriguez and the engines Esteban Pou. After finishing 18th in the capital of Entre Ríos and 9th in Concordia, today he became the 111th winner in Class 3 historywhere he had had very good partials but where he had never been on the podium before.

“It was a race, I drove very well, I’m going home happy because it wasn’t happening to me in the TN. I congratulate Jorgito because we had a nice race. I took a gamble at the start on the outside, he respected me and it came out“, Todino said in AM590 Continental and Campeones Radio.

Barrio was in a position to add his 2nd consecutive victory (something that no one has achieved since 2021) but he could not take advantage of the fact of starting from pole position. “The three of us started badly, but I was the one who did the worst of the three. And Germán knew how to take advantage of it. Then I looked everywhere and did everything I could, but it wasn’t enough.. I’m not worried because I already have the victory, I simply wanted to win it because that’s why I came to run.“said Barrio, who added his 3rd consecutive podium in TN.

Leonel Pernia (Ford Focus) finished 4th after starting 3rd and moved from the top of the championship to Andres Jakos (Toyota Corolla), who after 15th place in Rosario – which did not treat him well all weekend – fell to 3rd place in the championship. The new escort is Jorge Barrio (Chevrolet Cruze), which is 3 points from the “Tanito”.

Leonel Larrauri (Honda Civic) completed the “top 5” and ended a streak of 4 consecutive retirements with 6th place, while Jonathan Castellano (Chevrolet Cruze) was 6th and achieved his best result in the last 10 races, from 5th place in Comodoro Rivadavia

The next date of National Tourism will be carried out May 10 to 12on the International Circuit ““Río Hondo Hot Springs”province of Santiago del Estero, next to the Turismo Carretera and the TC Pista.
