Juan Bautista De Benedictis holds a unique distinction as the last driver to win at Río Cuarto, securing his second career victory there on Sunday, June 3. That afternoon yielded an unforgettable podium, with the driver from Necochea flanked by none other than Guillermo Ortelli and Omar Martínez.
Victory came only after high drama at the front of the field. Matías Rossi had been leading the race before being forced into retirement, leaving De Benedictis to scrap it out directly with Ortelli and Martínez. Sharing a rostrum with those racing legends remains one of his finest memories in motorsport, a framed moment with his ultimate idols that he will never forget.
Behind the podium finishers, the top ten of that final classification filled out with José María López in fourth, Christian Ledesma fifth, and José Savino sixth. Rounding out the points-paying positions were Diego Aventín in seventh, Jonatan Castellano eighth, Juan Pablo Gianini ninth, and Leo Sotro tenth.
Now, the machinery of Turismo Carretera is set to roar back into the south of the Córdoba province. The series visits the venue on Saturday, November 13 and Sunday, November 14 to host the fourteenth round of the season, which also serves as the penultimate event of the Copa de Oro.
Fans planning to make the trip to the race-crazed city can already check the ticket pricing structure. General admission is set at $ 35.000, while specialized viewing areas scale upwards: Tarima Recta costs $ 60.000, Tribuna Recta is $ 70.000, Tribuna Mixtos runs $ 80.000, and Tribuna Alargue reaches $ 90.000, with access to the exclusive Boxes area priced at $ 150.000.
Fortunately, accessibility is built into the weekend's ticketing policy. Children up to ten years old, retirees over seventy presenting the corresponding identification card, and individuals with different disabilities will all receive free entry to the general admission areas.
