Roberto Mouras He is one of the greatest personalities in the history of TC. His exploits spread beyond the ages and he is an icon of recent years in which the initials of “Road Tourism” literally represented the cars racing down the roads. This specific case transcended motor sport, that of a person who 30 years ago generated a deafening silence when he lost his life in front of a crowd in full competition, at the intersection of route 205 and the access to Lobos. That fact that was inexplicable because it was the best driver of the moment meant a break, which he became irreversible when he found a short time later in Osvaldo Moresi another victim of the highest sporting level. Little by little, the TC moved away from the road tradition, followed the course of the autodromes and the cars became prototypes built in detail until reaching these days, where the witnesses of that time coexist with the new generation of mechanics, engineers and pilots that takes off from a school of talents that grows from the figure of Mouras.
History is the founding stone and at 85 years old, the TC not only enjoys a superlative present but also established its own system of promotions. She feeds on the passion that awakens the pilot who represents the small payment revving powerful six-cylinder engines in the middle of a raid that drives Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Torino and the recently included Toyota. Having the racetrack dedicated to Mouras located a few meters from Highway 2, on the outskirts of La Plata, the idea was born. The concept is quite intuitive, as Max Verstappen himself has done
passing from karting to monopostos until reaching Formula 1, a national ranking was planned tailored to the most popular category in Argentina. Thus it was that the Road Tourism Corridors Association (ACTC) devised the system of ‘TC Mouras‘, a category with cars with similar characteristics to TC that runs on the circuit that honors Carlos Casares’ bull.
How does it work? Road Tourism is the largest category, maximum glory in the iron DNA that gathers families camping in the racetracks to see the idols. Like an opening show runs the ‘CT track‘ which is equivalent to the ‘B Nacional’ of football, where future TC pilots dispute the promotion places Reserved for top performers. Then there are those who compete in the third category of this pyramid, those of the TC Mouraswhich in turn also have as a fourth rank the
TC Track Mouras. There are more than 170 pilots who regularly line up in the promotion categories, such as in a training school for drivers as well as engineers and mechanics within the same teams of the major division. In addition, he sponsored the Metropolitan Formula 3 as an intermediate step between teenagers who come out of Karting and jump into the most powerful cars.

rudi bundziak was established this year with the Chevrolet of the Dole Racing team. The representative of Puerto Iguazu not only is he Champion of TC Mouras at the age of 24 but, as a prize and incentive, this title unlocked the license to run in TC since the year 2024.”I’m going to frame that card, it’s unmatched and incredible“, summed up the missionary who while running completed his professional career studying law. He only has to do one season of experience in TC Pista to know the circuits of the whole country together with the TC. The minor class (TC Pista Mouras) also crowned a representative from inside as Ignacio Faín, from the Santa Fe town of Villa Minetti. Every weekend the five thousand inhabitants stopped the town to watch the races of this 17-year-old boy who won seven times with Dodge.
The overall concept includes learning and adapting to develop the skill of driving at 270 km/h. The circle has been completed in recent years, where pilots born in the 21st century fight alongside the experienced of the ever-current Turismo Carretera.
