Turismo Carretera
Encyclopedia
Turismo Carretera is a popular touring car racing series in Argentina
, and the oldest car racing series still active in the world.
The first TC competition took place in 1937 with 12 races, each in a different province
. Future Formula One
star Juan Manuel Fangio
(Chevrolet) won the 1940 and 1941 editions of the TC. By that time the Chevrolet-Ford rivalry started, when Ford acquired most of its historical victories.
Until the 1960s, the races were held in temporarily closed local roads, often a combination of dirt and asphalt (hence its name) rather than in dedicated race tracks.
During the 1960s, the category became high-tech with local manufacturers investing heavily for prestige. Ford
and Chevrolet
were the main American firms, and to a lesser degree Dodge
. European Renault
, who was merged with Kaiser
in Argentina and thus inherited the Rambler
series, was also a contender.
In the 1970s, the Sport Prototipo (modified cars in the Gran Turismo
vein) category was spun off TC to allow TC to return to its stock-car roots which made it immensely popular with small-town audiences. That spin-off withered away slowly. A second spin-off was TC 2000 Championship in the 1980s, that allowed showcasing the smaller cars most Argentines were driving (and thus including Peugeot
, Renault
, Fiat
and Volkswagen
into the mix, and later on Japan
ese brands as well). TC 2000 soon became as popular as TC itself.
In later years, and to preserve its main draw, TC has been clinging to the larger models that have mostly gone out of use in Argentine roads, and incorporates imported engines.
Brands in TC still have huge fan bases, with Ford being the largest. General Motors
decided to end manufacturing Chevy Coupé SS (Chevrolet Nova) in Argentina in 1977. Chevrolet reputedly draws the second largest fan base in later years. Dodge and Torino are the other two participants with winnings in TC.
Please note that both Dodge and Torino were equipped with Chrysler Cherokee engines after 1995. Back when they won the titles they were equipped with their original engines. (a Dodge "Slant Six" engine for Dodge and a Tornado
engine for the Torino).
