I had found something on the internet some time ago about a race in Argentina September 2, 1927 with the following entrants :
Delage Grand Prix : Juan A. Malcolm & Eduardo Estanguet.
Bugatti : Jorge Perin & Ernesto Bossola.
Hudson Mecánica Nacional : Domingo Bucci
Carlos Zatuszceck might also have been part of it on a Mercedes-Benz.
This might be your race.

I only have a print of the web page I had taken this and I haven't (well my fiancée in fact) translated it yet. I think (but I'm not sure) that I had taken it at www.autovilsport.com. You might find more about it there. I hope your spanish is better than mine !

Frank,

Whilst I browse the site to see what´s there, let me "slightly" correct the address that you pointed us to (that, btw, is a dead end!).

First, the main word in the address is missing two letters ! It´s not autovilsport but automovilsport. Makes a lot of sense...

Then the final part in your typing contains a dot too many, after the com, I mean.

So the right address should be http://www.automovilsport.com/

Anyway, thanks for the unvaluable info, my friend!

Now let´s see it ;)

Felix

Yes Felix - finger trouble ! I found the page back through Google :
http://www.automovil...-argentina.html
This should be a better way to get access to this info. Again my spanish is worst than José-Luis' english ;) :lol: so maybe I'm totally wrong about this race. Please tell us !

Thanks for the help & correction
See you
Frank

Well, Frank, unfortunately it isn´t :(
The race that the article makes mention to is a race in the track of Esperanza.

Anyway, Forum members able to read Spanish should point their browsers to this article that is the one, most probably, that FEV found.

Meanwhile...still looking for the 500 Millas de Rafaela 1927 results as Boniver wanted.

Not yet lucky :(

I have found an interesting chronicle of the 1926 edition by Orlando Pérez Manassero and also a brief history of the Rafaela track at their official website.

But no data for 1927...yet.

This was from Les Sports (Belgian newspaper), Wednesday 26 November 1930. It could interest you.

Spring GP at Buenos-Aires, 400 km*
1- Carlos Zatuscheck, Mercedes 3h 4' 43" (125.3 kph)
2- Ricardo Caru (Fiat), 3h 11' 37" 6
3- Juan A. Malcolm (Maserati) 3h 18' 7" 8.

* I supposed the race was held on Sunday 23 or 16)


And in the same newspaper, Thursday 11 December 1930.

500 miles for tourism cars (Moron circuit)
1- Balbi (Graham-Paige) 4h 25' 2" 2
2- Perez (Chrysler) 4h 31' 35" 2
3- Balconi (Fiat) 4h 33' 4" 2

The winners of this race from 1915 to 1929:
1915: Philipini (Fiat)
1919: Piorano (Marwell)
1920: Masotro (Dodge)
1921: Romitelli (Studebacker)
1922: Ovides (Studebacker)
1923: Giustina (Chevrolet)
1924: Malcolm (X) **
1925: Detruci (X) **
1926: Riganti (Hudson)
1927: Malcolm (Delage), 127 kph
1928: Forrest-Greene (X) **
1929: Bucci (Hudson)

**: sic, Unknown car, but Malcolm (X) :lol:

The newpaper also mentioned the Arrecifes GP (500 km)
class 1:
1- J. Gandino (Fiat) 4h 18' 38" 4
2- R. Caru (Fiat) 4h 19' 18" 6
3- A. Marocchi (Gardner) 4h 20' 38" 2

20 starters including 3 Studebaker, 2 Fiat, 2 Gardner, 6 Hudson, 1 Essex, 1 Marmon, 1 Willis Knight, 1 Auburn, 1 Chrysler, 1 Ford and 1 Chevrolet

class 2:
1- J. Perez (Chevrolet) 3h 1' 52" 2
2- Diaz Castelli (Ford) 3h 5' 6" 8
3- Pedrazzini (Ford) 3h 16' 46" 4
4- Martinez (Chevrolet) 3h 29' 24" 4
5- Mendiorez (Chevrolet) 3h 29' 28"

5 starters, 5 finishers.

I'm not a specialist of the South-American races. Some names could be misspelled.

Fascinating stuff, Marc

The 1930 Circuito Primavera at Mercedes was won by Zatuszek (Mercedes) from Carú (Fiat) and Malcolm (Fiat), which looks too close to your Morón result to be a different race. Except that the date I have for that event is 19 December...Perhaps my information on the date is wrong. Another reference says Carú was racing a Maserati at Mercedes, though Malcolm would be more likely.

The 500km race Arrecifes race was in September - 20th or 28th. Winner was Juan Gaudino (Chrysler) from Carú in his Fiat 519 with Américo Marrochi (Gardner) third.

The Morón race is a bit of a mystery. The ‘historic’ winners’ list tallies with the results of the Premio Otoño at Morón for some years, for the Premio Otoño at Mercedes in other years, and the 500 Millas Argentinas at Rafaela in other years again. And the cars listed don’t sound much like ‘tourism’ entries. As I said, a mystery.

David,

My information was found in two different issues of the newpaper 'Les Sports'. The first one, dated from Wednesday 26 November (1930), gave the results of the race that I've called Spring GP at Buenos Aires. The article spoke about a Spring GP in the Mercedes Circuit at Buenos-Aires. I've forgotten to mention the name of the circuit.
You said that the date you have for that event is 19 December. My source is a proof that it's indeed wrong. My post wouldn't be useless.

The second article was taken from the issue of Thursday 11 December 1930 and related two events: the first in the Moron Circuit and the second at Arrecifes.
About the Moron race, the newspaper (in French) used the terms: "Les 500 miles pour voitures de série". The date of the 1930 edition of that race was not said explicitely. It's the same for the 500km race Arrecifes.

The ‘historic’ winners’ list tallies with the results of the Premio Otoño at Morón for some years, for the Premio Otoño at Mercedes in other years, and the 500 Millas Argentinas at Rafaela in other years again.

Well, I've found this list in a non-specialist motorsport newspaper and I'm sure the newspaper never checked the information. I've said when I've posted it that I'm not a South-American race specialist. Yes the Moron race is a mystery for me, as it was the very first time I've found information about that race.

Do you know the historic winners of the Premio Otoño at Morón, the Premio Otoño at Mercedes and the 500 Millas Argentinas at Rafaela ?

We're both saying the same thing - my December date for that race must be wrong.
The 1930 Moron race certainly seems to be for production cars, but I wonder how many of the earlier ones were?
I'll dig out some Premio Otono results when I get home - I'll also try and check an atlas (that's a book of maps, not a website:) ) in case Moron and Mercedes might be synonyms for the same venue.

First, Mercedes and Morón are both in Buenos Aires province, and quite close to each other, but I shouldn’t think close enough to refer to the same venue.

I have the following details of Premio Otoño races, each one of 250 (scheduled) miles. I suspect, but cannot be sure, that in the missing years the race was not held.

1924
13/04, Morón
1 Juan Malcolm (Chandler)
2 Eduardo Luro (Stutz)
3 Jorge A Luro (Hudson)
4 Antonio Gerli (Lancia)
5 Antonio Trabucco (Hudson)

1925
14/07, Morón
1 Raúl Riganti (Stutz)
2 Ernesto Blanco (Reo)
3 M Lopez Talbo (Cadillac)
4 Domingo Bucci (Hudson)
5 Alberto Metivier (Haynes)
other starters
Juan Malcolm (Hudson)
Ermanno Blanchiardi (Chandler)
Ernesto Bóssola (Flint)
NOTE: race stopped after six laps

1927
10/03, Mercedes (40 laps)
1 Victor Pángaro (Bugatti 1500)
2 Domingo Bucci (Hudson)
3 Juan A Gaudino (Hupmobile)

5 Fernando Bini (Buick)
other starters

Lancia
Ballot
Chenard-Walcker
(13 starters)

2 Juan Malcolm (Delage)
3 Carlos Zatuszek (Mercedes-Benz K)
4 Urquiza Anchorena (Bugatti)

1931
12/04, Mercedes
(described as “the fifth Premio Otoño”)
1 Carlos Zatuszek (Mercedes-Benz SSK)
2 Ernesto Blanco (Reo)
3 Florencio Fernández (Marmon)
4 Cayetano D’Amico (Fiat 519)
5 Juan Otilio Medina (car unknown)
6 Ricardo Carú (Fiat 519)
other starters
Ernesto Bóssola (Mosquito Special)
Augusto McCarthy(Fiat 525)
Liberto Méstola (Cadillac)

1 Carlos Zatuszek (Mercedes-Benz SSK)
2 Eduardo Estanguet (Mercedes-Benz SSK)
3 "Juan Urquiza" (Stutz)

Rafaela results might take a bit longer...

Could some of these races be point to point races, Moron-Mercedes for instance ?

David, thank you for all those listings of results. I just like to ask you if you know what type of cars were allowed to race in each year. I mean Grand Prix/Racing cars, Sportscars/Specials, Touring cars or Le Mans-type Touring/Sports Cars (in 1920s and early 1930s) etc.

The races were almost always Formula Libra, which is how you get factory-built sportscars racing against re-engined GP cars and home-built single-seater specials. Both Coches especiales and Mecanica Nacional classes were admitted from at least the 1940s until well into the 1960s, afetr which fields were limited to the local version of F1

Maybe someone can help me...

I know that Chico Landi drove a Alfa Romeo 8C in Argentina in two other races:

october, 3rd 1937 at San Isidro
march, 27th 1938 at Necochea (I only know that Fangio was 7th)

Results anyone?

I have no record of Landi in either of those races, Chico (which is not to say he didn’t take part in them). But I can say that he was not third in that Necochea race, nor among the first seven finishers.
He did however run in the 1/11/41 Circuito de Santa Fe, without being placed, and was fourth in the 22/11/41 Premio Cuidad de Buenos Aires

David, could you give us the complete results as far as you've got them of the races mentioned by Chico and yourself?

Chico, do you have more on South American FL races of the 1930ies?

1939 500 Millas Argentinas (at Rafaela)

Les Sports, in his edition of Thursday 19 Octobern, published the results of the 17th edition of the race organised by the AC of Argentine.

1- Donzini (Cadillac) 800 km in 5h 34' (144 kph)
2- Orsi (Ford)
3- Martini (Mercury)

The following is different from what David wrote. According the brief dispatch in Les Sports, Soggetti (Fiat) would be 4th,Vezzosi (Alfa Romeo) 5th and Ochoteco (Alfa Romeo) 6th.

I admit I'm more inclined not to believe this version !!!

My two last replies would be beter located in the Gran Premio thread. The results were from the 4th and 5th edition of the Gran Premio Tourisme de Carretero.

Sorry once more - still finding my way around this ocean of information. Have any of you gentlemen researching South American racing ever come across entries for a Mors of any description - post 1908 but probably petering out in the 1920s? At least one and possibly both of the 1908 Grand Prix Mors ended-up in the Argentine.

Manuel Diez won the 1916 edition of the GP Turismo de Carretero driving a Mors, covering the 732 km in 15h 05' 40" (46.408 km/h).

I wonder if Diez was driving one of those '08 Grand Prix cars. One of the pair - we don't know whether it was Jenatzy's or Landon's in the Dieppe race - is a fairly recent addition to the magnificent Collier Collection in Naples, Florida, and is under restoration at this moment (having dropped a valve). It was found in Argentina circa 1960 and taken to the USA son after.

Thanks for the gen. Terrific...

The car with which Manuel Diez won the 1916 Gran Prémio Nácional (it wasn't a TC race until much later) may indeed have been one of the 1908 GP cars. One of two bad pictures I have of it in that race is a front-on one which shows it to be very similar, at least up to the scuttle, but seems to have been rebodied beyond that. If it was a 1908 GP car. My problem - one of many - is that I am not familiar with the entire Mors range, including production cars, so can't be specific.
There were two other Mors entries in that race, one finishing 4th in the hands of a chap called Frere with the other, driven by Diego Basset, one place further back.

Quite a few other Mors mentions in Argentina 1909-1916:
1909
J Chepa 2nd in a km sprint on 25/10
1915
Diego Basset 3rd in a small-circuit race on the San Martín racecourse in Buenos Aires 8/6
1916
Manuel Diez won a race at San Martín in April
And on 27/10 A Cortona was 4th in the Copa Jose A Costano race out of Castelar

Felix,
Does this mean we don't have to ask Bira for a Spanish spell-checker? ;)

Hans : :lol:

But obviously two Spanish spell-checkers will always be better than one! ;)

Well, actually they will be twice as expensive...and probably will tend not to agree, but that´s built in our nature, you know :rotfl:

Un abrazo - Aloha

Wa-hey!!! Have I cracked it???

First pic shows both '08 Mors, with Landon and Jenatzy at the wheel - this one (which I trust is hear, I think I just glimpsed it on the lightning fast preview) shows Landon in his. Note the midship scuttle cut away with the oiling glasses exposed within, a very distinctive feature of these cars which gave them a really rakish 'waisted' appearance, v. sexy to offset that great clubfoot of a massive wall-like radiator up front. Do the rebodied Argentiune cars bear any resemblance to the front end, suspension, wheelbase, wheels, driving position, etc, that we see here???Posted Image

Was that before or after the Vanwall raced at Rafaela?
(Sorry)

Those Mors pix are better than the 1908 GP ones I could find last night. I'll make a comparison with the Diez pix when I get home tonight.

Hmm, dunno.
The bad pictures I have are from La Nacion, as reproduced in Historia Deportiva del Autimobilismo Argentino. One is a front-3/4 line drawing back to the scuttle, which makes the car appear similar to your 2-car shot, except that the front suspension is very different. It's very possible it's a bad drawing, because I don't think the suspension set-up they show would work!
The second is a fuzzy photo taken from the nearside rear wheel looking forwards, which - significantly? - shows the exhaust coming through low on the bonnet side, not high as in the 1908 shots.
As I said earlier, both pictures show a cowling between engine and passengers which is not evident in the 1908 photo.
My conclusion: the Diez Mors is probably one of the 1908 GP cars
