Nicolás Bonelli arrives at San Nicolás carrying serious momentum and absolute clarity about his mission. The driver from Concepción del Uruguay has shown an impressive run of speed aboard his Ford Mustang, securing a pair of third-place qualifying results followed by a fourth in San Luis. Now comes the second round of the Copa de Oro Rio Uruguay Seguros at a venue where he finished sixth last year.
"Es un autódromo muy lindo, me trae buenos recuerdos, hemos funcionado muy bien el año pasado así que tenemos una buena base de puesta a punto y venimos de unas últimas carreras funcionando muy bien," Bonelli explained. He also pointed to the podium finishes at Posadas and Paraná, noting that a contact during his heat in San Luis severely compromised their day despite the machine's evident pace.
A tratar de pelear por los últimos tres del minuto, creo que tenemos el auto, quedan tres carreras y hay que estar bien adelante, ese es el objetivo,
Following a brutal weekend at the Autódromo Rosendo Hernández where snowfall made Saturday work remarkably difficult, the team run by the Álvarez brothers put in massive hours on the Ford Mustang N° 63. "Se ha trabajado mucho haciendo un repaso general después de lo que fue la lluvia, la nieve," Bonelli detailed, mentioning that transmission elements were thoroughly checked while working alongside Pope Bonelli on the engine to extract daily improvements. The camp travels with confidence to claw back the ground lost in San Luis.
With only three rounds remaining in the season, the target is clearly defined. "A tratar de pelear por los últimos tres del minuto, creo que tenemos el auto, quedan tres carreras y hay que estar bien adelante, ese es el objetivo," Bonelli stated, laying out his ultimate push for the championship's closing stretch.
Up ahead in the TC Copa de Oro standings, Otto Fritzler currently leads the points table. He is chased by Jonatan Castellano and Agustín Canapino, with Canapino arriving as the most recent winner at San Nicolás.
