Question for Argentine racing experts.

 

Osvaldo Médica was a talented Argentine driver, active in the 1930s. He was killed during a Mecánica Nacional Fuerza Libre race held on 07 May 1939 at the Circuito El Bosque in La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, driving a Marmon.

 

Different sources reported his name to be Rodolfo Médica but it has not yet been clarified whether Osvaldo and Rodolfo was the same person or they were two Argentine drivers by the same family name of Médica (possibly related?), active in the 1930s.

In Barrio Autódromo, in the town of Córdoba, Argentina, where almost every street is named after deceased Argentine racing drivers, there is a "Calle Rodolfo Médica", between "Calle Italo Bizio" and "Calle Juan M. Fangio".

Hi, Alessandro. According Parga's "Historia de una pasión", The edad driver was Rodolfo Médica. I have never heard or read about Osvaldo.
