Until this season, he had driven a Chevy Coupe in all cases.
In its 88-year history, the TC has had 41 different winners of 81 titles because between 1942 and 1946 there was no competition due to the Second World War. The one who has won the trophy the most times is Juan Gálvez, with nine times -1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1960-. They follow him Guillermo Ortelli with seven stars -1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2008, 2011 and 2016- and Juan Maria Traverso with six -1977, 1978, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1999-. By brand, Ford has twice as many tournaments as Chevrolet – 46 versus 23 – in which one was reduced.
Canapino climbed to the fourth step in the rankings with his fifth TC title and also became the most victorious driver in the history of national motorsports with 16 stars, one more Juan Maria Traverso. The former IndyCar driver met “Flaco” last weekend when he won the TC 2000, and in a few days he will be fighting for the TC Pick Up crown, where he will arrive as the leader until the final day. If he wins this competition, he will become the first driver in history to receive the Triple Crown.
