Here's the thing: Facundo Chapur arrives at the thirteenth round of the season sitting right at the top of the Copa de Oro standings. The man holds 82,5 points as the Turismo Carretera championship visits the Autódromo Juan Manuel Fangio in Rosario, holding a slim advantage of 1,5 points over Julián Santero and 4,5 points over Otto Fritzler.
Driving a Torino prepared by Trotta Racing, the Córdoba native is keeping his feet firmly on the ground after a stellar 1-2 finish for Esteban Trotta's squad in San Nicolás, where Ignacio Faín took the victory and Chapur secured second place.
"We prepared like always, trying to be as professional as possible and keep the bar as high as we have been doing," Chapur explained regarding the return to the circuit in Santa Fe. The team is actively addressing their weaker points while leaning into their strengths, aiming to deliver their absolute best both collectively and individually.
With only three dates remaining on the calendar—Rosario, Río Cuarto, and La Plata—the championship leader is focusing on consistency rather than chasing wild ambitions. The strategy is simple: finish inside the top ten, score heavily, and capitalize on every single opportunity that comes their way.
Should he hold the championship lead through Rosario, Chapur will travel next to his home province for the round in Río Cuarto, Córdoba. It is a venue that already holds sweet memories, having secured a victory and celebrations in front of his home crowd back during the sixth round of the year.
