Norberto Fontana finished third in the Ford-YPF Focus, just ahead of the leading Equipo Petrobras Honda of Leonel Pernía. Fontana now moves back up to third in the championship ahead of José María López.

The two Elaion Chevrolet’s continue to show a recent improvement in form, with Guillermo Ortelli & Christian Ledesma finishing 5th and 6th.
