Alain Menu joins the field for the Buenos Aires 200km

Former World Touring Car Championship and current British Touring Car Championship driver Alain Menu will head to Argentina this weekend for the return of the Argentinian Super TC 2000’s mini-endurance event, the Buenos Aires 200km, where he’ll partner Franco Vivian at the works Equipo Chevrolet YPF squad.

Alain Menu has been a mainstay of the Argentinian endurance event, where he has competed seven times in the eight year history of the event which previously ran from 2004 to 2011, which has been reinstated for this year for the first time under ‘Super’ TC 2000 regulations, now with Radical V8-powered, front-wheel drive cars.

The 200km event has previously attracted stars from European racing including Rob Huff, Yvan Muller, Anthony Reid and Gabriele Tarquini. Menu is a previous winner of the event, sharing the Chevrolet Astra with four-time TC 2000 champion Matías Rossi in 2006, while former BTCC star Anthony Reid was the only other international driver to win the event, sharing the Honda Civic with current WTCC points leader José María López in 2008.
