Biggest Winners

Drivers: Gabriel Raies

Cars: Renault

Models: Renault 18 GTX

Country with the greatest tradition in the Americas and owner of an undeniable legacy at a global level with events such as the GP International Standard (where world-renowned names such as the Swedes Gunnar Andersson and Ewy Rosqvist, the Germans Walter Schock and Eugen Bohringer - who won the event twice: 1963 and 1964 and the Uruguayan master Gustavo Trelles were present and won the event) and, of course!, the mythical Rally Argentina, during decades-long member of the WRC and highly capable drivers, highlighted among them by one of the 'Gods of Rally' Jorge Recalde who, among so many achievements, can boast of being the first Latin American driver to join official factory teams (Audi, Mercedes, Lancia...).

It was also the first Latin American country to 'create' its national championship, in 1980.

A notable presence in the South American championship, held since 1997, where Argentine drivers have already won 9 times, second only to Paraguayan drivers and races that have become true 'classics' of South American rallies (I would even say some internationally renowned races), it is certainly the Latin American country with the greatest relevance in the world of rallying.

In time: The first event (which is known) to be held in the country, the Gran Premio del Sur, held between March 10 and 20, 1938 in Buenos Aires, was won by… An Uruguayan! (victory for driver Hector Sedes, in a Ford V8).

País com maior tradição nas Americas e dono de um legado inegavel a nível mundial com provas como o GP International Standard (onde nomes de renome mundial como os suecos Gunnar Andersson e Ewy Rosqvist, os alemães Walter Schock e Eugen Bohringer -que venceu a prova por 2 vezes: 1963 e 1964 e o mestre uruguaio Gustavo Trelles se fizeram presentes e venceram a prova) e, claro!, o mítico Rally Argentina, durante decadas integrante do WRC e pilotos de grande capacidade, destaque dentre eles para um dos ‘Deuses do Rally’ Jorge Recalde que, entre tantos feitos, pode-se gabar de ser o primeiro piloto latinoamericano a integrar equipes oficiais de fabrica (Audi, Mercedes, Lancia…).

Tambem foi o primeiro país latinoamericano a ‘criar’ o seu campeonato nacional, em 1980.

Presença marcante no campeonato sulamericano, disputado desde 1997, onde os pilotos argentinos já venceram por 9 vezes, ficando atrás apenas dos pilotos paraguaios e provas que se tornaram verdadeiros ‘classicos’ dos ralis sulamericanos (diria até que algumas provas de renome internacional), é certamente o país latinoamericano com maior relevancia no mundo dos rallyes.

Em tempo: A primeira prova (que se tem noticia) disputada no país, o Gran Premio del Sur, disputado entre 10 e 20 de março de 1938 em Buenos Aires, foi vencido por… Um uruguayo! (vitória do piloto Hector Sedes, num Ford V8)
