Lobería’s “Pinchito” set a time of 1m14s483 to travel the 4,148.40 meters of the Pampas racetrack and had the reefer as escorts Agustin Canapino (Chevrolet), and Neuquén John Cruz Benvenuti (Turin).

With emotion painted on his face, Ortelli completed the ceremony prior to the start of the track, surrounded by his team and family, and when the nose of the Chevy appeared with the 408 (number of races he ran in the TC), from the adjoining boxes its occupants went spontaneously to applaud him.
The fans of “Chivo”, better known as “La 15” (because of the grandstand it occupies at the Oscar and Juan Gálvez racetrack), when seeing Ortelli’s car also burst into an endless ovation that the Salto driver thanked with a short accelerated.
