Cont’d.———and its similar to British touring car but on steroids, each car was valued at $3 million and they had three of them, backed by Peugeot, and run by professional petrol heads, (Argentina branch) petrol head = drink neat petrol followed by burning Sambuca, eat raw car tyres and have loads of tattoos.
Almost all of the 30 cars were factory backed and my team had the resources of the world rally champions at the time to call upon, if this was a cake it would be a fruit cake with every “e” number going.
I was in heaven except I couldn’t Understand a dam word they said, it sounded like badly fitting dentures that spat everywhere? The language is Spanish or a very close representation of Spanish but they call it “Castilian”, it’s a dialect of Catalunia in Spain and very proud of it too. Speaking of proud, I know of no nation as proud as the Argentinians, it makes for very exciting racing and football on and off of the track. I did meet the legendary Diego Maradona, I lived 100m from his house and the stories I could tell you……!
The wait at the airport started badly, I was at one end and the almost english speaking team member was at the other, so three hours later the team gofer and I were on the open road getting to know each other. Within an hour of being in the capital Buenos Aires, we had seen three accidents, a donkey/cart combo on the motorway and a lorry destroying a barrier at a toll booth.
No one was badly hurt in any of the accidents, but they were hilarious incidents . It started as two very old American station wagons collided at the junction of general belgrano and September the 11th Avenue. We had just entered and a dull thud could be heard followed by a huge plume of dust and steam erupting from the impact site. it engulfed the whole junction, And to give you an idea of the crash image. Six lanes converging from four directions on this one point in time and space, all with unwritten rules about negotiating the traffic. Both vehicles were at least 20 years old and held together with wire, so as they impacted body panels were spread over several 100 metres.
