Here is a wild thought from the paddock: Julio Cesar Catalán Magni is already looking ahead to the 2027 season and seriously considering bringing a brand-new machine to the top category. The team boss currently handles the Chevrolet for his son, Juan Tomás, along with the Torino driven by Matías Canapino. But as the squad looks to the future, the machinery could undergo a radical change.
Speaking out over the weekend when the TC visited Rosario for the third round of the Copa de Oro, the team boss laid out the ambition to keep the current driver and technical group together while modernizing. Bringing in a fresh manufacturer instead of sticking solely to the classics is the goal. "With the structure that we have ourselves, a BMW wouldn't be far-fetched to build," he expressed.
That striking proposal was made before the news broke regarding the departure of Juan Ignacio Maceira in the TC Pista. Because of that development, the Arrecifes-based operation is now forced to review its entire global restructuring for the upcoming championship.
It is a fascinating horizon for the team as they weigh their options for the premier class. Whether a BMW actually hits the track remains to be seen, but the intent from inside the garage is crystal clear.
