ACTC established Golden Cup In it Road tourism In 2008 the final date gave a higher score (50% more) with one goal: not to have the champion determined until the last checkered flag of the year. but, Augustin Cannabinowho returns to competition throughout the season after trying out a year and a half in IndyCar, has a chance to shatter that hypothesis and establish himself as the TC for today’s five-timer at Toay.
The equation is not easy: There are 117.50 points to be distributed on the last two dates (47 at La Pampa and 70.50 at the Roberto Moras de la Plata track on December 6 and 7) and the man from Reef leads 47 advantage over Matthias Rossiwho was not part of the 12 Gold Cup qualifiers but will enter the meta as one of the three drivers at the last minute. Therefore, to be crowned early, Canabino must obtain 70.50 points from his direct pursuer, who is not the only one with sporting chances.
In addition rocketwho already recognized the superiority of the four-time TC champion Chevrolet Camaro over his Toyota Camry, but his good background in Toay encouraged him to do so. “Make the deadline better”shown with probabilities Santiago Mangione -A teammate of Canning Sport in Canabino, so already expect that he will help him if the chances run out-, Marcos Landa – Focused on compiling the 2026 budget Julian Santerothe outgoing champion who is already awaiting the arrival of BMW next year. In addition to deducting points, all four must win, which is a prerequisite for winning the most important category title in the country.
At the moment, out of 47 points at stake in La Pampa, before the storm with rain and hail held the action and kept the rankings in suspense for more than an hour, Mariano Werner took the top two positions. “It’s been a long time since we got first place. Unfortunately, the weather made all the groups a little more complicated.”said the man who dominated qualifying for the second time and added his 32nd TC pole.

Why did the person who ranks ninth in the Gold Cup say that? Only the first quarter shifted with the sun, but still Cannabino came in seventh place, with a difference of 923 thousandths. “We all left in a hurry because we knew it was going to rain, and we couldn’t do much.”The man from Reeve expressed his regret, who announced after Agustín Martinez had been the best in the second quarter, but already under a light drizzle that saw him finish the race for the thirteenth time. Things got worse for Rossi, the group member who returned to the already wet track. he slim By Del Viso He turned out to be 14 seconds behind Werner He came in 33rd place in a round in which the best was Emiliano Spataro (26th). “It was lowered because we had a great car. We’re in the oven.”warned before the race in which he aimed to win. The fourth group was even slower: the reference was Joseto Di Palma, in 34th place.
Although the classification was done in very different track situations, what prevented this rain-delayed classification was that the positions were ranked by standings, with Canabino and Rossi on the losing end because on that grid the points from this year and the points from last season were combined, in which neither of them took part – although the current leader did take part in some races, so they would have finished 11th and 32nd.
Revenge will come in the series, with each unit handing five units to the winner with Canabino starting in the second row from the first, and in the final (1:30 pm on public television) with an exciting 40 points for the winner and possibly the new champion.
