Driving a Dodge, the 20-year-old took the pole at an average speed of 224.739 kilometers per hour. In one of the turns, the Missile lost control of his Toyota and hit a tremendous pineapple.
The qualifying afternoon at the Oscar and Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires had everything on the return of Turismo Carretera to the mythical Buenos Aires racetrack. Agustín Canapino, who returned to while continuing to make his way in IndyCar, saw live and direct how Marcos Quijada, a 20-year-old driver who runs with Dodge, gave the fastest lap in history and took pole position in the classification of the tenth date of the season, the last of the regular stage before the start of the Gold Cup.
The young Escobar driver set a fast record of 1m30s361, at an average of 224.739 kilometers per hour and surprised the world of motorsports. It was his first pole in his ninth appearance in the TC and in his baptism in the Gálvez he left behind a record that Canapino himself had set on October 3, 2020, when he nailed the timers in 1m32s335 at 219.934 km/h on the same track. .
That turn of the Titan had displaced the historic pole of Carlos Marincovich in the Rafaela oval in 1968 (219.053 km/h). The man from Buenos Aires, from the Uranga Racing team, led by 531 thousandths of a second over the native of Ferré, Santiago Álvarez (Dodge), who will lead in the second series. The third position was in the hands of Humberto Krujoski (Dodge) from Corrientes, who qualified at 629 thousandths.
“I’m very happy, I can’t ask for more. The track was drying out and the car worked like ten, despite the fact that I missed the first practice session and I was only able to turn in the second one on a racetrack that I didn’t know. I dedicate it to my old. We are going to go for everything, as he taught me, to close a great weekend”, celebrated Quijada.
The experienced Mar del Plata native Lionel Ugalde (Torino) placed fourth at 1.314 seconds, while the Chacabuco-born Elio Craparo (Dodge) obtained fifth place at 1.337 seconds. Starting in first order, the riders who are fighting at the forefront of the competition were harmed by the light rain that fell during the run.
Rossi’s pineapple
Matías Rossi, with Toyota, qualified in 45th place and was the protagonist of a spectacular rollover in turn 1 of the track. The pilot did not suffer any serious blows and was kept under observation during a section of qualifying. When the corresponding discharge was granted, El Misil went to the pits to assess the damage to his car.
His team, Toyota Gazoo Racing, is working around the clock to repair the car and they hope to get Rossi to the start. “I didn’t feel a strong blow, I was scared when I was face down and my pressure dropped a little, but I’m fine,” he explained to Carburando.
For his part, the Canapino from the reef, who is completing his first presentation of the season, after participating in the IndyCar of the United States throughout 2023, could not achieve good records either and placed 48th, with 1m. 40s. 227/1000. Throttle cable stuck. We had already had problems in the two training sessions and now it broke completely”, explained the four-time champion of the category, in 2010, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
