Toyota works driver Matías Rossi claimed the first 2012 victory of the Super TC 2000 season. The 2011 champion beat Ford driver Carlos Bueno with three seconds over the finishing line.

The 27-year-old won the ‘Super 8’ qualifying heat earlier today, getting past pole position man Bueno and secured pole for the main race. Rossi then led the main race from lights to flag, securing the first every victory with the new Radical manufactured V8 engines.

Chevrolet Cruze driver Christian Ledesma claimed the final podium spot in the main race after fighting his way from fifth on the grid.

Nestor Girolami in the Peugeot 408 claimed fourth ahead of the two Renault drivers Emiliano Spataro and Mariano Altuna. Matias Munoz Marchesi crossed the line as seventh, just 0.211 seconds behind Altuna.

Jose Maria Lopez, Guillermo Ortelli and Jorge Trebbiani rounded off the top ten, just over 20 seconds from race winner Rossi.

The championship continues on the streets of Buenos Aires on the 1st of April.
