The biggest piece of news to come out of the Turismo Carretera paddock following the opening round of the Copa de Oro is a major shakeup at Gurí Martínez Competición. Mauricio Lambiris has officially decided to part ways with the team, a move triggered by a mechanical failure that struck his Ford Mustang during the final in San Luis. The Uruguayan driver is not wasting any time, already landing within the structure run by Jerónimo Teti.
It is not just the driver making the jump. Federico Raffo, who served as the technical director for the team, has also departed following a conversation with the Entre Ríos outfit. The engineer will continue to work alongside Lambiris in this new chapter. Furthermore, the Ford Mustang involved is the personal property of Mauricio Lambiris, and the machine has already been transported to the workshop in Lobería where Teti bases his operations.
that ambos pilotos estén bien y que obtengan buenos resultados. Tenemos que seguir trabajando y ahora con la impronta de Brian.
Meanwhile, Gurí Martínez Competición is moving quickly to restructure. Brian Kissling steps in as the new technical director, taking over the responsibility of wrenching on the Ford Mustang cars driven by Facundo Ardusso and Augusto Carinelli. Kissling's immediate agenda includes traveling to Paraná to inspect the machinery, conduct the necessary evaluations, and hand down his directives to the mechanics working in the shop day to day.
With these shifts, the team will finish out the remainder of the season fielding just two Ford Mustang cars for Ardusso and Carinelli. The clear mission for the squad now is finding a much more consistent level of competitiveness on track.
Reflecting on the changes and the road ahead, Martínez stated, “that ambos pilotos estén bien y que obtengan buenos resultados. Tenemos que seguir trabajando y ahora con la impronta de Brian.”
