Success in front of a huge crowd

For the fifth consecutive time, the Chevrolet works squad succeeded in shining in the 'Buenos Aires 200 km', a round of the Argentinean Touring Car Championship. Once again, the Chevrolet Astra equipped with a two-litre Spiess engine made it to the podium: Christian Ledesma and his Swiss team-mate Alain Menu finished third.

"The race at Buenos Aires represents a season highlight, therefore nobody was ready to take too many risks in the opening stages," said Argentinean Ledesma. "With 29 laps completed, I pitted from the safe fifth position to be replaced by my team-mate, Alain Menu."

Afterwards, the experienced touring-car racing professional Menu entertained the 70,000 spectators with a great chase. The former STW (German Super Touring Car Championship) ace battled his way up, with the Astra No 5 - to finish third, in the end. "I'm proud that I had the opportunity to race for the Chevrolet Team," said the Swiss following the presentation ceremony. "The entire championship here represents a big party and I'm delighted with having been involved."

With 8 of the 14 Argentinean Championship (TC2000) rounds contested, Ledesma holds now third position, just 23 points behind the currently second-placed driver.
